check out her Canada Live concert at CBC2 website, she's pretty seasoned...i don't know how she managed motherhood (now divorced for fellow PEI songwriter) and touring
i could listen to her talk about her late dad for a few hours - everyone knows Songbird and Put your Hand in the Hand but my fave Gene tune was Biding My Time
“I grew up watching him (Gene) write songs in the living room with pen and paper or with a guitar on his lap. I am really proud to be his daughter and to be able to follow a little in his footsteps.”
“because I’m not at the total beginner stage, now when I have a moment by myself with a guitar at home or in a hotel room, it is almost immediate. My subconscious knows I don’t have that much time to work on it and it just falls into place .I’ll pick up the guitar, start strumming a bit and the melody and chord progression will start coming out with some words. The melody will be an expression of the emotions I’m feeling.”
btw, you can find interesting Downie QTV interview online (it's been posted here before, he and GL have much in common)
