| Buffy Sainte-Marie |
 |
I was overwhelmed to have seen Buffy Sainte-Marie live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on 28th August 2009, an artist whom I have loved and followed for the past thirty five years. The concert and her performance were moving and nostalgic covering most of her hits and music from her latest album ‘Running for the Drum’.
After the concert, I was privileged to meet Buffy when she greeted her fans signing copies of her latest CD’s with a radiant smile and was pleased she posed for this photo as well! Thanks Buffy for a great evening one that will stay with me for a very long time!
