I found this 2004 radio interview with Sarah by Steve Inskeep of NPR, which somebody has no doubt posted before, but if not, here it is:

She discusses (and sings, playing a grand piano in the NPR studio) about writing Answer, World on Fire and Dirty Little Secrets, all favorites of mine.

I listen to part of this program while driving to work, and did then as well, but since I only hear a little of a 2 hour show I must have missed this part. If I had heard it then, I'm sure I would have become a fan a lot sooner.

If I could play guitar, I would want a guitar like this one

As part of an ongoing partnership with Sun Life Financial, I was commissioned to complete two guitars to honour Sarah McLachlan’s School of Music. The guitars will be used by students at the school during their performances.
