    Huge thanks to my friend Alana for introducing me to this lovely song by Mary Chapin Carpenter and lending her beautiful voice to this performance. Also, shout out to Alana’s dad for being our cameraman here. :) And of course Toni Lindgren on those saucy bluegrass licks!

    This song is about the writer Eudora Welty who saw Halley's Comet in Jackson Mississippi twice. Mary Chapin Carpenter tells a nice story during her concerts about how Miss Welty invited her to her house and how she played the song for her.

      When isn't she? So consistent and just a great feel to all of her playing. As a guitarist myself, I'm always jealous of the sheer number of talents she possesses on the instrument-and then there's her sweet voice! Just amazing talent all around on this channel.

    So Reina nd Toni thinking about what should we do this week? We could play some devastating guitar and sing some amazing vocals together. Wait, what if we added another INCREDIBLE voice to the mix? Yeah, let's do that. Thank you all so very much. The three of you sounded just great in every bit of it. Would love to hear more in the future. Truly wonderful. You ladies never disappoint. Really wonderful to hear Alana again. Also, one of many great songs from the genius mind of MCC. Cheers all!

    Beautiful song! The finger picking had a perfect blend with Toni's flat picking. Toni gets better every time I hear her play. She is a fine lead flat picking guitarist. So smoothly pulling off her distinguished single notes with a fine rhythm. The overall trio is great with dynamic vocal harmony.

    Mary Chapin Carpenter was seemingly inspired by the writings of our own Eudora Welty of Jackson, Mississippi, a bit over an hour south of me. So, you've got Carl Sagan, Roswell, and Halley's Comet.

      Then you were 24 years old in 97 when Hale Bopp was visible to the naked eye for almost 18 months and was much much more impressive a comet. You won’t get to see that one again unless you live to be over 4000 years old.

I do a star party in August for the Perseid Meteor Shower and have a one hour campfire program with interactive audience games and activities to teach about the night sky...You all should put a "star" repetoir set together and play a pre-show at a star party!! And by the way...the 3 of you are beautiful stars. Keep on shining gals!
