You know we miss her and what she might have been, but there's no doubt she's immortalized now. She was an ace in the hole, and a rising star, now she's right up there! Unreal. :cry:

Her lyrics were incredibly deep, experienced and soulful. She was artistic, sensitive and intelligent, also a darn good singer and a nice melody maker, and rhythm player with intrinsic, natural feeling.

Her efforts were almost prophetic: I'd put her in this this order "Don't know how I got here" then either "Clarity" or "Fun while it lasted", and lastly "Ride into the Sunset". Her last performance was "The Prayers we light."

A young Toronto folk singer-songwriter has died in hospital from injuries sustained after a rare attack by coyotes in Nova Scotia. Taylor Mitchell's manager, Lisa Weitz, says it's difficult to express the tragedy of the 19-year-old woman's death. Weitz says Mitchell, who recently earned a Canadian Folk Music Awards nomination, was a compassionate and phenomenally talented young woman whose excitement for life was contagious.

Mitchell was airlifted to a Halifax hospital in critical condition after the attack in Cape Breton, but succumbed to her injuries today. She was hiking alone on the Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park on Tuesday when the attack occurred. RCMP spokeswoman Brigdit Leger says other hikers heard her screams for help and called 911, adding that an officer was in the area and arrived within minutes. RCMP shot one of the two animals, apparently wounding it, but both managed to get away. Mitchell, who recently launched her debut album, "For Your Consideration", was on tour in the Maritimes."

Added by me: how ironic her first single was "Fun while It Lasted". There are no Youtubes for Taylor, but I'll look for it.

I didn't know her myself, but did some of the same things, generations earlier; took Songwriting and (solo/casual) performing seriously, attended meetings and seminars with workshops at the Arts Centers in Toronto with other singers and bands, played demos, etc.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Taylor's family....
