    I know this wonderful woman personally, and she is just as beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. She cares more for others than for herself, She also becomes more beautiful every year. Thanks, my dear.

    This is one of the most touching duets I have ever heard. I've played it several times and know I will come back many more times. Such talent. These two beautiful voices were meant to sing this song together.

    His name is John Castillo. He is part of the "Perkins Trio" at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts. Saw him in their christmas concert last week. Incredible show. Wonderful kids.....very emotional for all.

    Natalie knows how to celebrate beauty because she is a beautiful person in so many ways you can see she has her heart on her sleeve. Thank you for sharing these moments in time that you just wish you seen and felt in person.

    I cannot think of a more beautiful version of this sung by Natalie. My gosh, this is so beautiful. Natalie is such a kind, warm, compassionate and generous human being. She embodies many traits we can all aspire to. That's us on the left shaking hands at our 1st meeting April 8, 1999 after I presented her with a bouquet of a dozen steel roses I welded for her. I adore this woman immensely.

    In addition to the brilliance and love this duet shares for everyone that is able to listen, to see it, the players are really touching. There is something about the violins note bends that adds to the piece. And it is Livingston Taylor, James’ brother, playing guitar and really enjoying the singing by the young man.

    Often I wonder what I’m actually doing and why-then I see these videos and it all comes flooding back to me in tears. It’s a great gift/perspective-the lives we have the privilege to touch each day. Thanks Natalie Merchant for your gifts and reminding all who worked with individuals with disabilities of the gift they give us when we take time to be present in the moment while working alongside them. All 3 videos you did at Perkins School for the Blind are incredible-true treasures. THANK YOU!!!

  • @tj6454
