Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Walking Song

Couldn't find this absolute gem up on Youtube, so I thought I'd share. Kate's son Rufus Wainwright has been performing this song on his tour as a tribute to his mother who passed away in January 2010. This is the original version from Kate & Anna's sophomore effort, "Dancer With Bruised Knees", released in 1977. I personally find it one of the most sublime pieces of music I have ever heard, and I hope you enjoy it too.
