Listening to ”Live At The Bon Soir” CD
Recorded in November 1962 but just released on Barbara Streisand’s 60th Anniversary as a Columbia recording artist.
It was reviewed on NPR recently and wonderfully engineered by Jochem van der Saag. A real award winning singer.

Such an honor shared among several Alaskan groups.
