McDargh CD hits thankful note

Peg McDargh is no stranger to Athenians. Nor is her fight against cancer. And it probably won't come as a surprise to those who know her that she's taking a thankful approach to her remaining days among us.

She's just released a CD, "A Christmas Thank You from Peg," recorded in November on her Steinway baby grand. I recently interviewed Peg for this blog post, and recorded some of her playing as well.

Listening to the CD has been a pleasure, and it accomplishes exactly what she wants it to do in that it calms our spirit. During these hectic, difficult times, we need more spirit-calming. So it is we who should be grateful. And of course, when it comes to knowing Peg, we are beyond all measure grateful.
