Music You Enjoy

Gotta root for the home team :) And she's also seriously into musical philanthropy. From Wikipedia:
...McLachlan also funds an outreach program in Vancouver that provides music education for inner city children. In 2007, the provincial government announced $500,000 in funding for the outreach program.[52] Originating at the "Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach", this program evolved into the Sarah McLachlan School of Music. This program provided children with high quality music instruction in guitar, piano, percussion and choir.

In 2011 McLachlan opened the Sarah McLachlan School of Music in Vancouver, a free music school for at-risk youth. The School of Music provides group and private lessons to hundreds of young people every year. It is their goal that through music education, students will develop a love of the arts and have greater self-esteem.

Received the name of who some West Coast musicians
said was the best Pedal Steel Guitar player ever.
After it arrived I replied and said, Jerry Douglas
was a Dobro/Lap Steel magician.
Sent them these two for starters.

I remember all the buzz about Woodstock. It seemed like something fun, but I was just a 14-year-old kid in North Dakota, too young and naïve at the time to know what was really going on. Looking back, I am very glad I wasn't able to figure out a way to get out there! I remember seeing a report on the evening news, and it had a clip of Alvin Lee (from this performance) playing his guitar like a crazy man! I thought, "Man, that's what I want to do!" People at the time thought Jimi Hendrix was the guy to see, but I wanted to see Alvin Lee!

Maybe a year later I started playing in my first band. My band went to see the movie, and this performance just blew me away! After that, we decided to learn this song. I do not have a recording of us playing the song, and I don't remember how well we did it. I'm sure it wasn't all that great, but people seemed to like it. I would love to hear how we did it, if only there was a surviving tape recording! We recorded many of our performances. I liked to listen to them during the following week after school to see how we sounded and how to improve.
