Remember
1. Don’t let anyone tell you this man couldn’t write, or that he was just a one-dimensional, country songwriter:
The smell of your hair I know is still there, if most of our leaves are blown
Our words still ring in the brush and the trees where singing seeds are sown
Your shape and form is dim but plain, there on our mountain bed
I see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your head…
-Woody Guthrie (music by Billy Bragg and Wilco), “Remember The Mountain Bed”, From Mermaid Avenue, Volume II
2. Esmont:

Very beautiful, both the song and your photograph.

I agree, both very beautiful!
And while only tangentially related to this post, Billy Bragg is coming to the Birchmere in October, FYI. He always puts on an awesome show.
