  10. Musical Interlude: Dickey Chappelle is a person we need a movie about. A photojournalist and war correspondent, she blazed trails for other women and was noted for her fearlessness in combat situations. She was famous for her uniform of fatigues, harlequin glasses, and pearl earrings, and won the respect of the Marines she was with. She was sadly killed by a land mine in Vietnam, and was given a full Marine funeral. And in recent years, she was named an honorary Marine. I learned of her from this song by Nanci Griffith.

    "Pearl's Eye View (The Life of Dickey Chappelle)," performed by Nanci Griffith.

  12. 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.

  21. 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...

  23. 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.

  32. 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.

  34. 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.

  39. Musical Interlude: I was listening to some more Nanci Griffith today...I love this album, one of the best of her early ones, IMHO. Many lovely songs on it, I had a hard time choosing one, but this one appeals today. This one really reflects my ambivalent feelings about my own home town.

    "You Can't Go Home Again," performed by Nanci Griffith.

  40. Musical Interlude: How about a Friday singalong? Here's a folk classic that just stands up and insists you join in. Especially as a bunch of old-school folkers are joining in on this recording.

    "He Was a Friend of Mine," performed by Nanci Griffith, with Dave van Ronk, Julie Gold, Lucy Kaplansky, Eric Taylor, Frank Christian, Odetta, Rosalie Sorrels, and others.

  45. Musical Interlude: Nanci Griffith is a great favorite of my sister and I, and we introduced her to our parents. This particular song is a family favorite; even my dad, who professed to think she was merely OK, was caught humming this from time to time. Mom says that if she ever hears this on the radio, even the Bette Midler cover, she stops what she's doing, even pulls over to the side of the road, to listen and reminisce.

    "From a Distance," performed live by Nanci Griffith, on the David Letterman show.
