In 1998, I travelled to Calcutta and studied Rabindrasangeet (the songs of Rabindranath Tagore) with Rajeswar Bhattacharya.

This is a song I recorded in 2017...by Betty McFarlane. Betty was 80 when she wrote it at a women's songwriting workshop weekend. To my knowledge, there are no other recordings of this song that I can find...I thought I'd put this up as something completely different for any woman out there who might be doubting herself...this is fun and uplifting and powerful at the same time...the message is - Accept yourself as you are...You are the perfect you!
