(Jung, could not get this to reply to your specific comment) You mentioned Loreena. She is a favorite of mine here near Detroit and has been ever since first introduced by Jurgen Goethe on CBC Stereo, a station I’m sure you can get in Vancouver. Sadly, Jurgen is gone but the CBC programming remains topnotch. Loreena has a song on her album ‘The book of Secrets’, called ‘Dante’s Prayer’. Beautiful, beautiful song and yes, New Age-y in its atmosphere. I have long admired it and found a use for it in my writings. A fanfiction based on a now-ended webcomic. In my fiction two principals say vows at their friends’ wedding. My main characters had had a civil ceremony on paper but wanted something more, hence vows among friends and acquaintances. The location was most special: the villa overlooking Lake Como (in real life) which was used in Star Wars for the wedding of Anakin and Padme at the end of the second movie. ‘Dante’s Prayer’ ended the saying of vows, Loreena’s voice carrying out over Como’s waters. Loreena still performs these days but mostly as a trio instead of larger groups using a multitude of sometimes esoteric instruments. Of course, I can well picture Mona and Lisa singing that specific song with their harmonies.

Mona, Lisa, Rudy and Michaela, I didn’t know I needed your music in my life until I heard the Twins’ singing, your wonderful harmonies and the insightful original lyrics and found that I needed them in my life! Thank you all for those livestreams, for letting me share some time with such gifted and talented people. Much love, Pete

L & M have beautiful voices and look so young! Though I think the uploads are older? Their songs create a mood right from the start.

And we have yet another pair of sisters with nigh unto angelic voices. The Webb Sisters accompanied Leonard Cohen for nearly a year on I believe his last tour. Here they perform ‘If It Be Your Will’ starting at the 1 minute mark following a recitation by ol’ gravel-voice.

David, I didn’t even look because their views are so relatively slim that I just figured I was the first. They do a lot of work in the studio as well, including Beatrice as she branches out to a solo career. Like in the MLT’s ‘Questionable’, she doubles and triples herself, which to me is an Art. I also like how goofy the ladies can be at times, again as with the Twins, looking like they really enjoy what they are doing. See ‘Johnny B Good’, for ex. And good grief, harking back to the MLT’s earlier days, these gals are <young>! Ages 18 and 20 for example. Thanks for your reply.

The Corrs! Their cover of REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts ‘ on MTV unplugged or whatever is to die for. Always a fine sound from them. And in fact the Twins could do a great job with that song.
