Nanci Griffith and I stopped by a College Station, Texas, radio station in the fall of 1978 where I snapped this shot of her through the control-room glass. She always encouraged me. My career and life wouldn’t be the same without her. I’m so sorry we lost her.

Rather dense here—a fictional electronic ticket or did I need to do something? Also, begging Your Grace’s pardon, is this a spoken or written conversation? I’m a bit fragile today and not certain my heart can take hearing your voice.
