We Salute Our Donors with Quite a Cook!

Funny. Who knew Elizabeth Cook was that funny?

Maybe we should have suspected since she's well known for her song "Sometimes It Takes Balls to be a Woman."

Friday night was an exclusive concert for the Narrows' donors, and Ms. Cook was the perfect match. Great songs, fabulous singing, great playing by her husband, guitarist Tim Carroll and bassist Bones Hillman (remember Midnight Oil?).

And funny. Her mom, she said, is from West Virginia. "50 million people and 5 last names." Elizabeth is from Central Florida, which, she said, is part of the south. Once you get to Orlando though, "it's New Jersey then Cuba."

If you're a Sirius satellite radio subscriber, you might be familiar with her show "Elizabeth Cook's Apron Strings" a mix of music, recipes and household tips.

Speaking of radio, the concert was streamed live on mvyradio.com, which should have it posted in its archives soon.

What a great night at the Narrows! The people, entertainment, food, and of course the venue were all supurb. Pat Norton paid tribute where tribute was due, to Peter, Burt, and Deb; Deb returned the favor by paying tribute to Pat and his extraordinary talent of picking talent. Elizabeth Cook was dazzeling in singing, story telling, and in appearance. The sound this three piece band put out was simple yet complicated with the best attacks and releases seemingly without cue than I have ever witnessed. They were lots of fun from start to finish and were rewarded with three standing ovations. I hope the Narrows is a regular stop for Elizabeth Cook.
