Kate McGarrigle<\/a> died\u00c2\u00a0of cancer\u00c2\u00a0on monday, she was only 63. I discovered the McGarrigle sisters<\/a> when I bought their debut album, ‘Kate and Anna McGarrigle’ in 1975. One of my favorite songs on that lp, ‘Talk to me of Mendocino’, presaged my long held dream to move to California, which I did – from 1997 to 2001. During all those years of listening to the song, I didn’t realize that South Bend, Indiana figured in the lyrics. My next move was to exactly that place in the midwest, just an hour or so outside Chicago.<\/p>\n

Talk to Me of Mendocino<\/a><\/em>, written by Kate McGarrigle
\n1975 Garden Court Music (ASCAP)<\/p>\n

I bid farewell to the state of old New York
\nMy home away from home
\nIn the state of New York I came of age
\nWhen first I started roaming
\nAnd the trees grow high in New York State
\nAnd they shine like gold in the autumn
\nNever had the blues from whence I came
\nBut in New York State I got ’em<\/p>\n

Talk to me of Mendocino
\nClosing my eyes I hear the sea
\nMust I wait
\nMust I follow
\nWon’t you say come with me<\/p>\n

And it’s on to South Bend, Indiana
\nFlat out on the western plain
\nRise up over the Rockies\u00c2\u00a0
\nAnd down on into California
\nOut to where but the rocks again
\nAnd let the sun set on the ocean
\nI will watch it from the shore
\nLet the sun rise over the redwoods
\nI’ll rise with it till I rise no more<\/p>\n

Talk to me of Mendocino
\nClosing my eyes I hear the sea
\nMust I wait
\nMust I follow
\nWon’t you say come with me<\/p>\n

A sensitive songwriter and lyricist, she could be both tender and funny. Her ‘Kiss and Say Goodbye’<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0helped to manage my equilibrium during many a youthful break-up.<\/p>\n

My newest pair of paintings, inspired again by music; Jean-Luc Ponty’s<\/a> ‘Mirage’ from his 1977 LP, Enigmatic Ocean. In the deep of winter, the piece suggested mysterious blues and dioxazine purples, with that high note shock of cadmium red deep.<\/p>\n
