"I saw Siberry in concert at the Somerville Theater around the time of this release, which was her most popular release internationally (and my favorite). It was a transcendent experience, that concert -- she was at the top of her game (as the expression goes). I went out to the lobby afterward where she was greeting people. I remember she wore a pink sweater and had what seemed like a body guard...a man standing very close to her, protectively. She seemed quite vulnerable, and seemed to pull back when I asked a question about her song, _The Vigil._ Years passed, and I went to see her again at Passim. She'd been through changes...adopting the persona Issa for a time, and recording several releases under that name before returning to _Jane Siberry._ Passim was quite intimate, small crowed. She talked to us, asked what we wanted to hear. She was transfixng, but subdued. She greeted people at the door on the way out and when I stood before her, I asked if I could hug her. She said, _yes,_ and I did. As we pulled apart she said, _that was a good hug._ And it was. "

It was shortly after my mother died. I told her that her music was the accompaniment to my mother in her final days, esp her song _The Joy of Living._ We talked for a while longer and, to close the show, she sang it _for Eleanor,_ my mother (who was a good mother). Cash chose to sing it on the 4th of a series of album releases that were the last beforee her died... some consider this collection to be his finest work towards the end of his life. "
