My sister indroduced me to this group and if I am ever feeling down their songs cheer me up - plus when I was in Oz I came home with an ozzie accent so I love singing along with the amazing Vicki - love u guys - get some more tunes goin"!
I had the luck to work at the Kerrville Folk Festival where I met these lovely people. Part of my job was to tape the performances and then interview the performers. If I ever meet them again I'll have them autograph my CDs a second time. Love these folks and I hope they're making music as long as they live... and then they'll be making music wherever they are.
Been listening to this for so many years without posting my thanks for uploading. When my aunt passed, this was one of the last albums she was listening to (found The Waifs CD in her CD player) and have always envisioned that this song was the one she connected to most (I certainly do and we shared very similar taste in music.) We played this at her funeral and was so fitting for her life, as well as many from our family. So thank you so much for allowing me to be able to remember my Aunt through this song and if The Waifs ever see this I owe them so much for producing a song and album that reached my heart as well as my Aunt and will ever be thankful. Not too many care when she was at her worst and I believe this helped her beyond what I could know. Thank you.
"A Brief History" is a live Double CD with a generous 16 tracks per CD, 32 in all. It is well worth purchasing. Not a stinker among the lot and many outstanding tunes! I highly recommend that you support this group by purchasing it!
My family has a plot for all of us. I don't want to be there. I want to be a tree with all my dogs but I do love this song. Where I was actually born is a very ugly place now.

Eric, I was there too at TBF. How can a song of death be so uplifting? But it is! It's about living, love it!!!
Newport 2001 was my intro. Love them.
