Thank you for honoring JD Souther in your post. It deeply saddened me to lose his unique talent so unexpectedly as he was planning a tour with Karla Bonoff next week. His songwriting was heartfelt and his collaborations with Linda Ronstadt are timeless and stellar. Another great musician gone from that era…

My wife and I were thrilled with your CMHoF interview with Sissy. It was beautifully conceived and executed. Your sibling harmonies reduced my wife to tears because of her own sibling losses. But it was a good cry. Thank you.

You are correct , things have gotten just gross. And mystery is attractive.

The world would be a much calmer place without social media.

I always love reading your newsletters on Sundays, but the biggest highlight was watching your eloquent delivery of the award to your sister. What a beautiful thing to see as is seeing you both share the stage! I was heartbroken when I found out I couldn't travel from Atlanta to Nashville this Thursday. I really hope there are more opportunities to hear/see you both together.

And I love that you quoted Khalil Gibran. He was a Lebanese poet for those who don't know (I'm half Lebanese) and he is the pride of Lebanon's literary world.

The Grohl thing - All of that. I’m 49, successful, happy & single. Tried online dating for 2 months. Ick. Deleted the apps, never to return.

You’re onto something about the instant gratification at fingertips. I’d rather be home with my precious dog, he never lets me down, makes me laugh & is a source of joy.

I’ll be there on 9/26 at the Ryman. I’m so excited about it I’m practically vibrating when I think about seeing the SL show.

So much to like here. I watched Americana Fest on You Tube and loved your introduction of Shelby and the performance ya’ll did together. I’m thrilled that she was recognized. Wish I could’ve seen the interview—is there any way to watch it? I also love the pictures of Sam. What a cutie! I’m a Cat Lady so those pics really speak to me. Thank you for sharing, Allison.

RIP JD Souther, prayers for his family and friends. I'm loving Second Mountain by David Brooks. It's so good, how he pulls it together to make sense of it all. I binge-watched Bridgerton on Netflix, and the first season was so great. I'm trying to get into the second season. Thank you for sharing your special times with Shelby. My heart is full for her. She is blessed with talent. As are you. You all look great. Happy Autumn Equinox

As a man, I can confirm your perception of the gross factor. Women are just better than men and that has been my opinion for most of my adult life. Go, Kamala. I too am so disappointed we're going to have to miss the Ryman show. We've been looking forward to it for months, but sadly it looks like the universe has other plans, and it will be too dangerous to make the drive from Georgia. I know the show will be magical. Much love to you and Sissy. ❤️

Perhaps I should apologize for not realizing that you’re THE Allison Moorer till now . . . I’ve occasionally read your posts and have been impressed by and grateful for your compassion and wisdom — and now I know that you’re a great musician too!
