Review of A Tribute To Eva Cassidy

Great idea for a public radio piece: as Bill Straw points out, Eva Cassidy's popularity was at first limited to "the public radio crowd." Some beautiful clips of her music incorporated into the story of her tragically short life - such as the dedication of "wonderful world" to her parents in a live recording. This would have been a very effective closing to the piece.
