<<  Nicolette Larson!!!  Lawdy Mizz Ozzie!!!  Now you're taking me back.  I 
 adored and idolized the hugely talented Nicolette Larson, one of the 
greatest 
 voices in country rock the world has ever known.  I think one of the things 
I 
 like about Lucy so much is that at times I hear faint echoes of Nicolette in 
 her phrasing, her emotion. I miss Nicolette terribly.  But we've got her 
 records, haven't we though? >>

Oh, records is right! - I only replaced her debut on CD, but I have all of 
her vinyl albums safely stored away on the top shelf of my hall closet.  I 
remember being informed of her death, on the Dar-list of all places, last 
year and absolutely breaking down - but then it seemed a fitting place to 
find out after all (thanks, Tom...).

She didn't write many (if any) of her songs, but Ron's right in that her 
delivery was virtually unmatched - plus I always loved the tunes she chose to 
cover (Sam Cooke's You Send Me was soooo smooth... not to mention Neil 
Young's Lotta Love).

I was lucky enough to see her live in '79 in Atlanta at a tiny bar/club 
(Steve Forbert opened for her) and when I *just* saw Karla Bonoff again last 
year, she sang Goodbye, Old Friend and dedicated it to Nicolette.  

We have more than the records - we have the memories...  :-)
