I will always remember the first time I heard Kate and Anna McGarrigle performing ""Mendocino". Wow. I should also note, that, like Rosalie Sorrel and Utah Phillips, Kate McGarrigle was something of a fixture at different times in her life at the Cafe Lena in Saratoga, New York. "Mendocino", I believe, was written in honor of Lena Spencer the founder of Caffe Lena and "guardian angel" of the folk scene in that part of New York in the old days, the 1960s and a little later.
