"When I was with The Band, I had no idea I'd get this good." --Garth Hudson, Macleans One special night in the fall of 2002, I was asked to record a concert billed as "An Intimate Evening with Garth and Maud Hudson,"... it turned out to be a unique and wonderful experience, which you now can enjoy on this CD... one of the finest displays of piano playing I have ever witnessed... Maud and Garth draw you in on a number of levels until you feel you are sitting around Garth's piano at home... this is the stuff of legends. --from producer Lance Anderson's liner notes

This CD is a wonderful live recording of Maud and Garth's first intimate duo concert performance, on September 8, 2002 in London, Ontario, Canada. Garth was born in Windsor, Ontario, but he was raised and educated in London. The Hudsons were there to celebrate the opening weekend of the new London Public Library's wonderful Wolf Performance Hall. See Dave Z.'s review for more info.

Canadian release in the spring of 2005, US release in October 2005.
