What was the last live performance you saw?

In a church in Belper, Derbyshire, an old man cried. She sang the lines and his tears wrapped in the back of throat.

Beginning when she entered the stage and finding completion as she sang Ladies Night.

Once, long ago, in a cinema in Lincoln he had seen the woman backed by her band. She sang songs, he joined in. Sat far at the back, alone, with a feeling of happiness he had not felt in such a long time.

Finding Freedom From Fear and Isolation.

Some music can do things to your mind. Some music makes you want to dance. Some music can move your emotions.

Then there are songwriters like Judie Tzuke. Highly underrated but with the ability to move an old man to tears.

Check her out.
