NANCI GRIFFITH 1997 - Big O

 Well everyone over in blogospheres land (its a place!) have suddenly kicked back into overdrive again this past 24 hours and to start with Big O have posted a nice set of Nanci Griffith here from Warwick University in 1997. Again if you can get past the torrents of filth and trolls pretending to be each other and legitimate visitors being harangued and bullied and your just going there for the music you can find many a gem and based as they are in Singapore they often post links to an extraordinary wide circle of material.

This is nice and pretty close to her last appearances in the UK. My wife and I saw her on the Once In A Very Blue Moon tour the years before

After repeated bouts of cancer On August 13, 2021, Nanci Griffith passed away in Nashville at the age of 68.

She is sorely missed
