    Fifty-four minutes and thirty-six seconds of proof that wonderful music is being made today. This is a priceless gift. Thank you Tift.

    Tift's hook, is her sincerity, both as a singer songwriter, and as a kind person. God bless you !

    Wow! I am so glad I stayed with it for the interview. Ever since stumbling on her a couple of years ago I've been taken by her songwriting and expression, not to mention her awesome beauty, but that interview told me she is also intellectually brilliant and quite deep. I went from like to love in the course of one video. :-)

    Ditto, Jeff... same age, same opinion. I'll be sharing this video. May have to become a promoter to get Tift back to Toronto.

    Saw her on "Later-with Jools Holland" episode 41-10 where she did a great version of Sweet Spot.....found the site but it says her video is not available....that guitar is a Gibson from what looks like the late 50's/early 60's sounding sweet as ever.....this is music.

    I don't get the thumbs down on her videos but whoever is doing that can go run back to watch Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen.
