THIS Rhett Butler Will Never Die

I had the sweetest experience today. I got to act like a groupie and went to watch a musician that I really, really like play in a very intimate setting. Well, the setting was not all that intimate; it was on a mezzanine in a very busy airport and her goal was to play a sort of background music for the traveler's passing through on their ways to their flights. But it was intimate in the sense that there was only a small crowd of people that specifically came to watch her perform. And I virtually got to sit at her feet while she played her mystifying brand of cello music. This is only one of the many photos I took of her. More photos and video will show up on my Flickr account and at my Facebook. I'll add the video here later too.

This video was posted by Zoe Keating yesterday on her Facebook page. I urge you to take the time to get quiet in your head and your day and watch and listen to her perform. She is one of the most amazing one-woman performing shows in the world. I'm crossing my fingers that she and I will be doing a photo shoot together next month after she returns home from her current European tour. I approached her about 6 weeks ago via a letter at her MySpace page and she was very enthusiastic about the idea of becoming one of my "Cemetery Girls". Stay tuned as I'll let you know when we confirm a date.
