The New Haven area has lost a well-known local singer-songwriter and music educator.
The Irish folksinger Liz McNicholl died last month. Her family said she had been struggling with her mental health and chronic pain.
But McNicholl’s legacy is larger than her recording and performing career.
"She was magic. She was like sunshine," said Cara McDonough, who took classes with her three kids at Musical Folk, the early childhood music school that McNicholl founded in the early 2000s.
Connecticut Public’s Jonathan McNicol — no relation — has this audio remembrance.
