Many years ago, on a beautiful summer night in Elora, my husband and I attended an open air concert on the rim of an abandoned quarry in Elora, Ontario. Floating on a stage below us, her gentle ardent voice echoing throughout this amazing amphitheatre, was Ann Mortifee. Her words and music flowed seamlessly around us, creating a sort of musical magic that I have rarely experienced since.
I understand that the quarry is no longer a viable venue for safety reasons, but luckily Ann Mortifee continues to cast her spell. My personal favourite is "When the rains come" .Another quote, which hits home regularly when I'm seeing the results of bright young minds in our changing world:
"You can’t see a new tomorrow
With yesterday’s eyes"
With yesterday’s eyes"
Ann Mortifee
