I was looking for this song and post last week because of my mother, when things got difficult. I am grateful for this one, this song found me again now. And also, even if I cannot locate it exactly, I thought about the statement you made (maybe I dreamt it) about time, especially time spent with parents, your mother, questions you wish you had asked her, about childhood. Now that things are suspended for a while I cherish this presence even more, and try to listen, too, thank you.

I met your mom in the 90s with a friend who had been writing her. She showed us her photo albums and I saw her gollywogs on the fridge. Yer pops had just had a stroke so didn’t join. I had a terrible cold so it was a very surreal trip. She was a lovely and generous woman!

How wonderful your parents shared themselves in your documentary. I loved your mother talking about your concert "medley" . 🌹

Not sure you'll see this before you head to Knoxville, but if you're looking for some good, inexpensive food and great coffee, check out the food coop (Three Rivers). We go for their breakfast buffet every day we are there - so good! (do need a car) https://www.facebook.com/threeriversmarket

Hi Patti, I first would like to say thank you for all you’ve been sharing…it’s wonderful! I wanted to make sure I got a “Thank you” to you. I’m not a paid subscriber and I get the feeling substack will soon be a subscriber site only. Thank you again! You are a bright star in my day, week, month, year! Steven
