Suzzy Roche shares loving memories of sister Maggie Roche and talks about the album 'Where Do I Come From: Selected Songs' of Maggie Roche on the program 'Beta' from Wisconsin Public Radio.

Maggie Roche was a member of the trio, The Roches, along with her sisters Terre and Suzzy.

The Roches created distinctive harmonies together for almost 40 years until Maggie died in January 2017 at age 65 after a long battle with breast cancer.

Suzzy recently put together a collection of songs by Maggie to honor her memory and music. It's called "Where Do I Come From."

As Suzzy told WPR's "BETA," her about a year before she could start the project.

"When Maggie died, in the last couple of weeks, she asked me to do something with her music. And, you know, then she died and then four months later, my mother died," Suzzy said. "So the whole year was just a complete black time for me. And it wasn’t until the next year that I actually started to think what am I going to do? And so Dick Connette from StorySound Records told me that he would help me. And so then I began the process of going through all the material and all the music that she had left and trying to put together something that I felt would represent her life’s work."

The two-CD set features four previously unreleased recordings, including the title track. Suzzy had to sift through many boxes of tapes and cassettes before she discovered "Where Do I Come From."

"I went through everything and I found that little song. I think it was probably the last song she wrote. It was very recent and I just was so struck by it."

"I do think that Maggie was having a very hard time in the last few years of her life," Suzzy continued. "She was ill and she didn’t tell anyone. And I think she felt very alone. But I also know that she was very interested in the refugee crisis around the world and the migrants. And I know that because I found also among her things all these places where she was donating. So I think part of her really identified with the feeling of being misplaced or displaced from her own life."
