Bad Sisters is badass! Great ensemble cast and it keeps you guessing. Your list is jam-packed with goodies as usual. I’ll check out the rest of your recommendations. Have you heard Tanya Tucker’s heartfelt new song “Letter to Linda?”
Lucinda. You said it all. That voice that had my 5 year old daughter saying from the back seat "Daddy. she sounds like she's crying when she sings." Yes, I can hear her voice as I read it. It flows the same.
Emily"s recent pics I've sern of Shelby and yourself make my heart sing that she's back in the same town as you! It has been singing for you both since her return.
You were too far away from each other for far too long.
It's got to be doing wonders for both of you. I know for me it's one less thing to worry over.
Thank you.. thank you.. I have had a really difficult week that tested my emotions and made me push through fears, and yes find calm and balance and quiet the mind. Reading this is balancing in itself.. it’s a pure tonic. Oh and Bad Sisters… I’m with you.. absolutely loved it!
I have a number of very strange, very specific food issues. My diet is fairly diverse, but not in the usual way. There are many "normal" foods I can't eat (e.g., bananas), but I have no problem with many that might be considered "exotic" (e.g., fish eggs, octopus).
My problem isn't that I'm "not getting" stuff, perceptually. I'm getting way more than most people. At the Birchmere, between the opener and main set recently, I felt like I was aware of the distinct tone of every voice in the room.
Hi Allison. Lots of treasures in your post today. I have started Lucinda’s book. Tough reading about her momma’s mental health issues, but also how smart & talented she was. It’s a good read. Thank you for the recommendation. I had never heard of Liz Rose before. Beautiful voice and a very impactful song. Oh the things that resonate as you get older. Thank you. Beautiful picture of you & Shelby. Cute as it can be! Made me smile. I hope JH gets some restful sleep tonight. Never feels good when one can’t sleep.
Glad the butterflies are visiting your garden! Flying in for your month of Joy! Enjoyed your post so much. Going back to read again 😊
Sisters...I’m blessed to have three of my own and all of us watched and loved Bad Sisters, and that photo of you and your sister is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen! ❤️
Just wanted to share with you how I look forward to your email every week. Part of my Sunday routine . Keep doing what you do ‘cause your pretty darn good at it.
My wife and I saw you and Shelby in Knoxville last year. You two are so special and I couldn't believe I got to see you two together! She looks so happy nowadays. Have a fun week, Allison!
Grateful for this, as always, but especially today and after this week. x

Enjoy this week of your joyous June!
Potato chips are good for the voice??? This is the best/worst news ever!

Love the photo of you and Shelby! Your photographer friend has an eye for the decisive moment. Thank you for all you do...

Hi Allison, I have enjoyed all that you have written. Thank you from the Foothills of Tennessee, we're blessed here in our great state aren't we 🎶😁😁
Such a lovely blog

I agree Jackie. I think that’s my favorite picture of Shelby & Allison
Oh, that song..no words

Allison,
OK, now I am very curious about the potato chips & how they help the voice. (Or were you joking🙂)
Always great to hear from you🩷
