Writer Sam Harris analyzes the heart and soul that typifies Evas performance style. Im reminded of St Pauls words in his letter to the Colossians Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men or as another translation has it And do all that you do with all your soul.

ISABEL CASSIDY BLIGH, 1. My mom, Evas Aunt Isabel, passed away on December 2. She had a special place in Evas story. Evas first musical instrument was Isabels autoharp, which she gave Eva when she was seven or eight years old, too small to play the guitar which later became her preferred instrument. It was Isabel who insisted that all the children perform at family Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings, much to our embarrassment Isabel was so proud of Evas accomplishments. She attended many, many of Evas live performances in the Washington DC area, usually with a group of enthusiastic friends. She made Eva a set of custom laminated placemats from her performance calendars, and rescued some of Evas drawings from the trash can and had them framed to hang in her home. Eva called her my cool aunt, and my own personal patron saint of the arts. A few weeks before the taping of the live album at Blues Alley, Isabel pulled Eva aside at the family Thanksgiving gathering and handed her a check. She said, Eva, I know you are going to have a lot of expenses for making this recording, so take this, and I dont want to hear any more about it. Eva used that money to pay for the manufacture of the CDs. To the end of her life, Isabel kept an Another Eva Cassidy Fan bumper sticker on her car, and listened to Evas music with joy and love. The memorial service for Isabel Cassidy Bligh was held on Saturday, January 2. AM, at the Mount Vernon Unitarian Church. It was a very lovely service. Among the musical highlights were Evas brother Dans performance of a beautiful composition of his own, Ode to Isabel, and Dan and my son Paul, another family singer songwriter, did a wonderful arrangement of Isabels favorite Unitarian Universalist hymn, Spirit of Life. The family would appreciate donations in her name to any local Planned Parenthood or the Greenspring Scholars Fund send to the Philanthropy Office, 7. Spring Village Drive, Springfield, VA, 2. Please indicate in the memo section of the check in whose memory the donation is being made. Greenspring is a 5. Cheering for Eva at Blues Alley.
