“I’ve known Linda Ronstadt since 1966, and in these 50 years we’ve shared so much as Sisters in Music! It is heart-wrenching to think that this mysterious ailment known as Parkinson’s disease has robbed us of her gorgeous, enthralling voice, but I’m happy to report firsthand that it has done nothing to diminish her spirit and keen mind, and I marvel, deeply touched, by the incredible grace and courage with which she faces this challenge. I’m honored to participate in this celebration of Linda’s music, which will benefit the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to speed a cure for Parkinson’s disease, which can’t come a moment too soon!”
-Maria Muldaur
“I used to dig through my parents record collection and gush over Linda Ronstadt records. I am so proud to be a part of this meaningful tribute. I remember listening to her and sensing she was not just a pretty gal singing great songs. I felt like she was speaking directly to me through the music, because it’s not only her voice – it’s her presence. She showed up at a time when the the world needed a proper WOMAN. She is forever woven into the fabric of Rock & Roll history and I can’t think of a better cause or a more worthy human to be honored in such a special way.”
-Grace Potter
