Of all the wonderful songs by this versatile pair of Montreal born sisters, my fave remains the whimsical Swimming Song. As someone who feared water in childhood and learned to swim only as an adult, I could relate to the fears, pains and joys of learning to swim.
In contrast to the light humour of the Swimming Song, Heart Like a Wheel (sung here at the Caffe Lena in 1990) is tragic and bluesy. Foolish You, written by Wayde Hemsworth, expresses another mood again.
Kate, younger than her sister by two years, died in 2010. She was only 64.
