Jesse Winchester

One of my favorites, the greatly-underappreciated Jesse Winchester, died this past Friday. While his “Nothing But A Breeze” appears on my Top Songs list, he wrote and recorded numerous other classics as well, both while in self-imposed exile in Canada and after his return to the States. The Washington Post ran a nice obituary this morning.

I was lucky enough to get a front-row seat this past October when Winchester did a show at the Barns at Wolf Trap. All acoustic, and one of the most intimate shows I have ever seen.
