Ahhhj….such a sweet time that has slipped away. And Garrison ‘s beautiful spirit was at the center of it… his retirement is a loss to all - not to be replaced. 🥰😍😀

What a voice, that Heather! A lovely duet with Garrison. Just wish the spotlight had been more on Heather while she sang.

Heather has one of the most beautiful voice in the world. I kid you not. Her tone is warm and soothing!!

[vikkinicholson]

One of my favorite songs sung by my fav. artists.

PHC is proof of the good warm heart at the bottom of this world. Hope the show will go on forever and ever. Four years ago I flew across the Atlantic to catch the show in Seattle. Two hours I'll treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you :))))

Beautiful song. Beautiful performance.

[chrisbolland]

Perfectly captures the dilemma of having a crush on a longtime and good friend. I should know. 😁 wish me luck.

"These dreams come passing through in lonely times..." Oh. My.

[SheilaCalabrese]

Such a beautiful song. Saw a Prairie Home Companion show last night, wonderful!

So Powerful that changes anothers life, that will change another's, that WILL change hundreds, WILL change thousands, that WILL change millions. You need to know what your works have done and will do. "It is not about what you have done, it is about what you will do as long as your shoulders can bear it." Peace be with you and all of us.

It's a classic dilemma. Very touching.

[digitalmorgan]

gawddamn I do love Heather's voice!

[nhatuphong]

the beautiful lady has a such great voice and the old man has a kind voice ha

[raymondkomorowski]

Not sure what behavior occured that caused the complaints against Garrison. As in many cases (Senator Franklin) we are convicting people publicly, then it goes away and we never find out....what happened, who to believe?
I must say, as much as I am extremely against bad behavior, unfairness if any kind, it will not diminish what was achieved over 40 plus years of joy and happiness I gave enjoyed listening to PHC, attending shows, watching videos. Short of assault, or serious damaging act, I love what he has accomplished!

Just heard this on the radio. Love it! I bought the MP3 version from the Duets 2 volume, but this version is far better because Masse's voice rings like a bell when she jumps an octave on "won-DRING", it just cuts through and evokes the emotion so powerfully it almost brings a tear to my eye. Also, Garrison's harmony is subdued and perfectly blended so that only the stronger notes come through clearly. On the album version there's less reverb and you hear both singers at the same volume level. Masse comes through too muted and Garrison is too loud. You hear the guitar, mandolin and other instruments at an equal level with the piano. Suffice it to say that this version here is far superior.

Saturday’s are just not the same any more.

[scottziegler]

Just heard this on "tonight's" show. Garrison's voice just sounds so good when harmonizing.

[Gary]

Damn. Between Heather’s voice and the pianist. 😢

[tkaul]

My goodness that song is beautiful. Sadly I'm struggling to find it anywhere else. Tell me this is on an album somewhere

[sunnieemerson]

Heather, why wear such a revealing outfit when garrison is naturally right up on you during the duet and has to take his glasses off to not get in trouble publicly for what would come naturally to anyone..to look? That said,
it was a beautiful duet.
