NANCI GRIFFITH HAS FUN WITH ROSIE

[@leafnlore2712]

My heart broke just a little bit more to hear of Nanci's passing. Nanci, thank you for all of it.

Great songstress. One of the best. 'When the diamonds fall, darlin' They burn like tears.'

Beautiful words David for a beautiful lady RIP Nanci.

@@stephenwood9104 It is a lyric from one of Nanci's songs, "Gulf Coast Highway."

@@shawnuel Thanks for the information Shawn, i don't know the song but will give it a listen.

Indeed

[@FrancoS59]

Nanci is a great artist, she is a fine writer as well as a musician and singer, and many of her songs are poems. She's a lovely woman, also gifted with natural elegance.

[@LoganCartwright]

Anything of Nanci's is great to see, what a lovely and talented true lady.

[@jbt6007]

I don't know where the time went. I first saw Nanci in concert when she was a young lady in 1985 and many times after. Now she is gone. She was a brilliant musician. RIP

[@greenturtle577]

What an incredible trove of great music from Nanci Griffith. I love her sound.

[@kenbrownfield6584]

She is a special soul

Ireland loves Nanci Griffith. So sad she’s gone but her wonderful songs will live on.

[@robertmetz4359]

AMEN!

'I think I'll go to Heaven There I will lay me down Leave all the pain behind me I'll bury it in the ground Maybe they'll talk about me I pray it won't be lies I think I'll go to heaven Heaven is in your eyes' From "Heaven", written by Julie Gold (Who also wrote "From a Distance" and "Good Night New York" for Nanci) and recorded by Nanci on her Late Night Grande Hotel album.

Love Julie. 💙🎶

Nancy was like one of our own in Ireland. Such a sad loss.

So much talent and sweetness packed in a little package.

R.I.P. Nancy Griffith.

[@michaelsix9684]

when I was in Austin 84-87, she played at TX student union Cactus Cafe, cover was 5.00, she sold out and packed the room

[@gregoryklein2608]

I saw her there also...Never forget here Valentine Day show.

[@kevinjohnston6938]

I saw her play in the same cafe in 1979. For the first half of the performance we were the only people in the audience. She played as if the room was full of fans, which we most certainly were.

[@michaelsix9684]

@@kevinjohnston6938 she was amazing, sorry she is gone

[@d.brillheart8097]

@@michaelsix9684 Yes, we lost a great one. You are lucky to have seen her. In reading the comments, I immediately noticed your name. My brother’s name was Michael Six. He passed away in 2015. Not a name we see often, for sure.

Seen my nanci in Dublin playing twice,we really miss her. She is my angel🇮🇪🙏🏼

Nanci was a beautiful person

[@eamonngaynor5762]

This interview is priceless she is so sweet pleasant and lovley I don't mind admitting I'm choking back tears watching it she was too young to die RIP nanci until we meet again

Just knowing that there is no more Nanci breaks my heart😥

[@RosePetal17]

She almost looks like Emmylou here, and they sure sound alike. Nanci was amazing! RIP🙏

Nanci sadly has left the building never to sing again.

Just when Tim locks the door and she takes a little spin on a red brick floor after hours when we are not invited.

[@alantracy6757]

I think she had a stroke ? Loved her open tunings as well

[@carlaeskelsen]

@@alantracy6757 Do you? No one has said a thing. So strange.

[@gregoryklein2608]

Love her to the max....she had only one flaw..wore that LBJ button....okay I forgive her ,she recognized his civil rights policies. But if she would have known the man ...I KNOW SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER WORE IT.

[@22lyric]

I saw her with an Obama button and an "I Like Ike" button at the same time.

[@avroe1]

She wore a Nixon/Agnew button sometimes too

[@japark85]

Growing up female in a state that shamelessly subjugates women (then and now) will tend to make a person no longer give a feck what people think.

[@leekrick4816]

This just shows me how accepting Nanci Griffith is to be with a 0 like Rosie O'Donnel.

[@RobertVeasquez]

Lee Krick Well, they shared core political belief...both are very left wing. It’s no accident that Nanci wear a Lyndon Johnson campaign button when she performs. I’m not making any judgements here. I love her music and always made sure to see her perform. In fact, I check for her regularly and her website. There has been no public activity since 2012 from her. I hope she’s ok.

[@ericanderson9664]

Not heard much of her recently. Anyone know what Nanci is doing?

[@cathycarrell6573]

I am in a FB Group called The Nanci Griffith Fan Group and I have read on there that she retired due to something with her hands. Not positive if it is absolute truth. Join up and read some of the posts and daily interactions!! Some of Nanci's past bandmates are in the group.

[@FrancoS59]

I am also in that facebook Group "The Nanci Griffith Fan Group" - maybe from Italy I will be the only one or maybe we count on the fingers of one hand - and in fact what is known is that dear Nanci had these problems with her hands for several years. I add that it has all my human understanding because I can't even imagine for a great artist like her who loves her fans, how painful it is to stay away from a stage.

[@nadeembitar5292]

@@FrancoS59 Does she sing in sign language or something? Her hands must be her voice.

[@FrancoS59]

Nadeem, Nanci as well as a good singer and a skilled songwriter, is also a good guitarist, so I guess is limiting to her to know to go on stage without being able to play for hand problems...I think, then exactly do not know

Why does she look so familiar to me? I was an 80’s kid, was she on a show or movie I’d have watched? Her face…I know I’ve seen it before!

My main inspirations were white even though the whites emulated black legends. Got it.

[@speedofanoldvdub]

If that one scrap of sharing about her life is how you judge a person, you will never really know a person. Nanci was a lovely inclusive human being.

[@jysmtl]

Buddy Holly and Woody Guthrie were indeed inspirational. Of course, they had their inspirations and influences, too. True for us all, including black legends. It’s natural.
