Folk Legend Judy Collins

Kari connects Judy with her father, her guardian angel who played an important role for her and also wrote an important letter about after her suicide attempt as a teen, alcoholism, the importance of being an optimist, believing in synchronicities in life, which is how her new re-released "Amazing Grace" with a 1,000 member virtual choir (proceeds go to the World Health Organization's Covid-19 Response Fund) came out, what it feels like to be the object of a timeless song (especially as a singer-songwriter herself) that captures a moment in "Suite: Judy Blues Eyes," how someone knows when they're on the path they're meant to be on and living their raison d'etre, Joan Rivers' advice that helped her after her son's suicide, her daily routine for music, being an optimist, at 81 not believing in "retirement" with her latest album "Winter Stores" as her first No. 1 album on Billboard, and how she knows when she wants to cover a song versus write one.
