I couldn't believe how beautiful this song was when I first heard it upon buying the vinyl record in 1977. It still sounds the same and I feel the same when I hear it.
Since 1970 you have carried me thru just by singing your lovely songs and seeing you in Knoxville with Jackson Browne in '77! So inspiring as a fledgling songwriter since then! I owe 3/4 of my smiles to you, Karla!
What I didn't know about Kenny was everything. I admit to be be stupid about Bryndle and only knew Karla from a few things in the past. Then I went to her concert in Templeton two weeks after Kenny died. Since then I've learned a lot. This video of them performing together just screams at me about how hard that concert a week ago had to be for her. The first since Kenny died. But she performed like the total pro she is and left the audience awed.
I first heard of Karla Bonoff at a Linda Ronstadt concert. Linda LOVED Karla's songs and plugged them big time. She was right. I went out and bought "Restless Nights"....I was hooked. Karla is one of the greatest singers ever....her cover of "The Water is Wide" is the best I've ever heard.
I bought Karla's album when it came out all those years ago, I about wore it out. She has a certain fragile quality to her music that I love. This is a great performance, thank you for sharing it.
Karla Bonoff is awesome. Listened to her first back in late '70s. Never seen her live on stage, but she seems to have a bit of stagefright in a variety of these videos. Awesome, though, as far as recording. You Go, Karla.
I fell in love with this song when I first heard The Whites sing it on Soundstage-PBS in the late 70's

She hasn't lost a tone from her wonderful voice. Her songs sound still as beautiful as in the seventies.

She still looks and sounds great. Thank you so much for your inspiring music. Lynn Miles would not be the writer and singer she is without Karla.

WOW - so glad I found this. I LOVE this song and Karla Bonoff. I saw her at The Cellar Door in Georgetown, DC back in the mid-70's. Great songwriter!

I was 19 when I first heard this woman. I am way way older now...so I imagine she is way older, too.
