Evanston: Eva Cassidy

        I have written about Eva Cassidy here before and recently chanced across a moving video about her a few days ago.
        I have no musical talent but I believe I have good instincts.  Bach.  Beethoven’s late string quartets.  Some of Mark Knopfler.  Others.  And Eva Cassidy.
        Her rendition of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ made her posthumously famous, but I believe her cover of Sting’s “Fields of Gold” is more beautiful.  As is her “Songbird.”  And many others.
