It's Nanci Griffith's birthday and here she is around the time of promoting Other Voices, Other Rooms, her first album of covers with a favourite Bob Dylan song of mine

We have mentioned Nanci's disappearance and leaving of the world of music and it brings me sadness. Wherever she is we wish her the very very best and hope she is well and happy in all she does. . . . my wife and I saw her play Oxford and were avid fans and have pretty much everything she officially released so she is a star through whom we discovered the legend that is John Prine and know wherever she is that she mourned his passing just as we all did and do . . . . . . . . . . we missed you at his passing as we miss you now, we love you
Happy birthday to Nanci Griffith, born in Seguin, Texas on this day in 1953.
Take heed, take heed of the western wind. Take heed of stormy weather.
