Nova Scotian oldtimers always said that the Mc's were Catholic and the
Mac's were Protestant.
Whether that's fact or folklore, it doesn't detract from the fact that
two of Nova Scotia's best known and superbly talented female entertainers
(with Scottish prefixes in their names) are both nominated for Grammys
this year.
Halifax born Sarah McLachlan is no stranger to the Grammy awards; she
won "Best Pop Instrumental Performance" and "Best Female
Pop Vocal Performance" in 1997 and the latter again in 1999.
Sarah's done it once more this year with nominations in two categories.
Her rendition of "When She Loved Me" received a nomination
for "Best Song Written for a Motion Picture" (Toy Story 2).
The song, written by Randy Newman was also nominated at last year's Academy
Awards but didn't win the coveted Oscar.
"There is something about singing under a mirror ball
when it's going and the lights are down and that thing's spinning
on its axis, shining up the world in its coca-cola moment kind
of way." -
Sarah, speaking of "Mirrorball"
A second nomination is shared with Sarah's good friend Sheryl Crow in
the Grammy category "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals". The
song, "The Difficult Kind" was written by Sheryl Crow
for her album, "Live from Central Park".
The 43rd Annual Grammy Awards will
be aired on CBS-TV on Wednesday, February 21st 2001 from the Staples Center
in Los Angeles at 8pm EST/PST.
