Her name was Joanne

I had an adventure trying to get back to DC from mom's wedding earlier this month. The wedding went pretty well, and was super-Catholic, as was appropriate for mom and Joe. Becks and I ended up driving all the way back from central Illinois, so we were waaaay tired upon arrival. My Aunt Carol took us to the airport three or four times over those two days, let us stay over, fed us, took us shopping, out to lunch, generally kept us happy for 24 hours.

I asked dad for a thoughtful thank-you gift idea, and we agreed upon a couple of Michael Nesmith albums. One CD, on LP. One of Carol's favorite songs ever is called "Joanne," and it's darn pretty. After my own run of research to find the perfect albums to buy her, I have to say, I'm hooked. I'm a new Nesmith fan, and I certainly recommend him to all you folkies out there.
