I saw Bette in Toronto this past year. Not only one of the best concerts of the year for many polls…. for me, probably the best live concert show of my life. And I’d seen Bette before too, in Toronto, in the early 90’s. Bette’s just better with time. Her work has been a soundtrack to my life, and I thank her for it.
