How wonderful that we have the opportunity to make new discoveries of musicians, artists and writers any time of our life. I can't think how it is that I've never heard of Eva Cassidy before. My painting instructor played a CD of her songs yesterday and I was blown away by her amazing voice and delivery.
Eva was a shy young woman who never gained the fame she deserved and sadly she died of cancer in 1996 at age 33.
Just listen to this song and I bet, like me, you'll run to the nearest source to get some of her music.

Wow, what a lovely voice and how sad she died so young.
