Can you believe that I worked with her for about half a year at Urban Outfitters in Boston Massachusetts, way back in 1991-92? She was a very kind young woman, no BS, no attitude. She was the only one there cool enough to be able to talk about the Byrds with me. I'll never forget how we talked about them and she sang a bit of their song 'You Don't Miss Your Water'. Shortly after she left the job, a number of us who had worked with her went to go see her perform with David at a club in Somerville, can't remember the name of the venue. We all sat spellbound. And a few years later, she had made it big and was on the radio, being interviewed. I could not believe my ears. Later on, some friends tried to turn me on to her music. When I told them I already knew about her and had worked with her for a while, they did not believe me. Hey ho! So pleased you made it Gillian! You were always a star though. Hope you are well. Your old colleague, Cameron!

Back in the late 40’s/50’s my Country Granny would sing me “mournful tunes” and I just loved them. I thought she had the most beautiful voice, tho others laughed , saying she couldn’t carry a tune. Ballad of Barbara Allen was my favorite, and I’d crawl onto her lap, we’d rock, sing, and make up additional verses. I can still remember what she smelled like, and sounded like. Then we had biscuits, and dewberry jelly. Heaven!

Yea Alex, I feel ya. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings make a powerful musical combo. There is a newer live version of Time (the Revelator) on KZbin. I wonder what would happen if she bought a Stratocaster? (reference to her song "I wanna play that rock & roll"). Look up Sarah Harmer's song "Almost" off her album All of Our Names. Or listen to any of Aimee Mann's music (after the Til Tuesday years). Start with CDs "I'm with Stupid" or "Whatever". Kindest Regards, John Jelks

My grandmother went into her bookshelf passage attic and fished out a 1942 Kay that has been sitting for 30+ years. She passed it down to me and gave the 1938 rickenbacker Ohalu lap steel to my mom. All these years I thought I was the only person in my family (apart from a distant cousin) that was into playing music. Life is full of surprises.

I got my grandfather's guitar when I was about 13/14. At that time My dad would visit his paint shop spending time with him, trying to gain those 13/14 years that he had lost. They had a falling out just when I was born, he told my grandpa that he would not be apart of my life. 13/14 years of heroin, alcoholism and violence, my dad cleans up somehow...became a Christian. Contacted my grandfather to apologize for how things happened. He started visiting the old shop where he used to run his sign painting business out of. My paps saw a guitar on the wall and said "hey I didn't know you play guitar!" His reply: "...really? Neither did I. Take it" Somewhere in the time where my father estranged himself from my grandfather, either there was an accident, or some kind of brain sickness/virus, my grandpa lost his memory...well, his mind can't create new memories. Anterograde amnesia? He doesn't remember where he got the guitar, or even if he has ever played it. I might be the only musician in my family... ...wow. almost 20 years, I've been playing music. Started with punk rock and heavy metal. As I have learned to open myself to many forms of music, I have become more creative...and have taught myself how to play 6 different instruments because of that guitar. The raw humanity in folk music is where I found my mind to be able to feel the truth in grief. In hope. And in reverie.
