Hypnotized by Gillian Welch

Last Saturday I saw Gillian Welch at the Beacon (first time).  For a while afterward, I couldn't express in words what I experienced--but I'd say now that it was hypnotizing.  I cried multiple times from the sheer beauty of it, the way she mixes pleasure and pain, and how she shows hard won insight while remaining light-hearted in spirit.  If you haven't listened to her before, or don't know of her, consider checking her out.
