The bend of the moon will do nicely. I have a similar, yet not as hard a connection to John Prine and I cannot stop posting his earlier videos.

I haven't seen John Prine live since the 70s, to the best of my recollection. AND Iris Dement, whose magical hymn at the end of TRUE GRIT will not leave me. Just saying. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-30507400267585178622011-09-07T09:29:20.553-07:002011-09-07T09:29:20.553-07:00Barbara - Welcome, nice to meet you here.

If I have added anything that decreases the worry trying to entangle you and your sister, I am happy. It is a demon and no mistake. There is really not much beyond our own selves over which we DO have any control.

I had just spent an hour on the phone with my sister, far away, sharing worries and fears about family things we have NO control over.

I did not leave you a comment, as I intended, to thank you for providing the model of responding to comments that I find so satisfying. I learned it by reading your blog.
