From what little that I saw of her performing "David" on the piano without a
band on CNNfn's "The Music Room" was great. That was also the same show
where I learned that her name is pronounced almost like a Hawaiian word
"Ma-Kai (ky)" instead of the everyday McKay.
The "Ma-KAI" pronunciation is closer to the authentic Scots Gaelic version
of the clan name than is the more popular (in America, at least)
pronunciation that rhymes with "day".
And that's my useless trivia nugget for Wednesday, July 14, 2004.
