Special--Remembering Kate McGarrigle

This week Laurie feaures a special remembering the late Kate McGarrigle. McGarrigle--best known for her recordings with sister Anna and a folk music career that spanned four decades from the early '70's--passed away  Monday at 63. 

Music was a constant element in McGarrigle's life, from the family get-togethers of her childhood on down to her own children, the musicians Rufus and Martha Wainwright. She earned critical acclaim throughout her life for both her lovely voice and her songwriting: the sisters' songs were also covered by other big names like Linda Ronstadt and Maria Muldaur. 

This week's Movin' On takes some time to explore the musical world of this folk icon... if time allows we'll also hear some music by Hedge and Donna, Sid Brown and others.
