  1. Musical Interlude: Listening to some Nanci Griffith today, I was struck by this song of regretful goodbyes, when breaking up is the best for both parties. One of the more mature breakup songs I've heard.

    "Not My Way Home," performed by Nanci Griffith.

    “In this life of hardship and of earthly toil
    We have need for anything that frees us
    So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer
    From a heathen and a pagan
    On the side of the rebel Jesus”

  5. Musical Interlude: I listen to this song every October, so I have to post this, although I'm sure I've done it before. Some songs are welcome for repeat visits.

  8. Musical Interlude: OK, here I go on Nanci Griffith again, but I love her music so. I love this catchy tune about missing a place, and people, very much...

    "Banks of the Pontchartrain," performed by Nanci Griffith.

  9. Musical Interlude: Late in her career, Nanci Griffith did an album backed by a symphony orchestra. I wasn't wild about it; it was mostly covers of earlier material, and some of the arrangements didn't appeal to me. One track leaped out at me; a new one for her, a cover of a tune by Frank Christian, and with his unique folk/jazz fusion going on. I rather liked it.

    "Drops from the Faucet," performed by Nanci Griffith.

  10. Musical Interlude: I hadn't listened to htis album in a long time, and had forgotten how much I liked some of the songs. This is a lovely tune from Nanci Griffith's first album.

  15. Musical Interlude: This song is always a good one for October, and given that I'm opening windows after a long spell of rainy weather, it's doubly significant.

    "October Reasons," performed by Nanci Griffith.

  16. Musical Interlude: "Storms" was the first Nanci Griffith album I ever bought, and this opens the album. A quiet song of heartbreak, but with a delicacy rarely found. And that line about how "love has a voice of its own" can mean so much.

    "I Don't Want to Talk About Love," performed by Nanci Griffith.

  17. Musical Interlude: I may have posted this before, but it's on my mind. I caught the Bette Midler version randomly today; Nanci's version is a big favorite with my sister and I, and we taught it to our parents during a long car trip. Now Mom tells me that any time she hears it on the car radio, she'll pull over and sit and reminisce. Nice to have a song that's a family favorite.

    "From a Distance," performed live by Nanci Griffith.

  22. Musical Interlude: Thinking of Nanci Griffith today, who I shall probably miss for the rest of my life. Here's a feisty song from her, written by Lyle Lovett.

    "If I Were the Woman You Wanted," performed by Nanci Griffith.

  23. Musical Interlude: I'm a longtime fan of the late Nanci Griffith, and her passing hit me hard. This song, with Jimmy Buffet on backing vocals, makes me think of my own affection for Baltimore.

    "I Love This Town" by Nanci Griffith

  24. Well, thinking it's only fair to give #NanciGriffith another spin, too. So hard to pick out what to share, like digging into a treasure chest overflowing with jewels. So, I just decided to go with a classic live performance that brings a smile, rather than a tear. (I swear I still can't listen to her 2006 album Ruby's Torch without crying.)

    Love at the Five and Dime from 1986 (This video is a live ACL performance.)

  25. I came late to #JohnPrine & #NanciGriffith (the 90s), but came to love them both, & their music, not enough space to say how much, but I'm unable to pick a fav among their songs.

    Written & released by John in 1986, this duet was recorded in 1993.

    Sadly, John passed from COVID Apr. 2020, & Nanci passed Aug. 2021, so this video is quite bittersweet, especially the final frame. 😢
