Carolyn Hester

accompanied by her daughters Amy (bass) and Karla Blume (piano), sang three of Tom's more recent songs. She began with the song Tom co-wrote with Susan Graham White about dealing with Alzheimer's disease, The Names of the Trees, and followed it with his tribute to his home state of Oklahoma, Along the Verdigris. She closed her set by toasting Tom with his own tribute to his contemporaries, The Honor of Your Company.
