Thanks for mentioning the source of the particular Carole King performance. I will have to check out the rest of the concert. Tapestry was in fact the very first Carole King album that my sister shared with me, and I still listen to it quite often. "Smackwater Jack" is amazing!

I also have a Solid Gold Jim Croce album...

And now you have me looking forward to hearing more of the lovely Corrine Bailey Ray. ;)

Great choices! Thanks!

BTW, I have now also discovered that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I read your "Southern Girl" story and found it delightful! :D

I hope you'll become more prolific at the computer/fiction keyboard like your dad... ;)
