So long, Kate

Aggrieved to hear that Kate McGarrigle died today, leaving the world bereft of both McGarrigle sisters now.

In Kate's honor, I'm posting this video of her and her family singing one of my favorite songs. She's not in her best voice, and the video's not of professional quality, but I love it that Rufus and Martha sing this with her. "Talk to me of Mendicino," while ostensibly about longing to go home, was always about death for me -- for that moment when you can finally say, this has been great, but I'm moving on.
