It’s a gem. I first heard it when the boxed set came out. Named my dog after one of his songs.

Anyway, back to Berry, I was pleased that he started to really get some of his due before he passed. He was a hell of an entertainer, a hell of a songwriter. As for the last, he often gives women more agency than many of his contemporaries. Not sure how many people pick up on that.

Tulane. She was very fast, smart, independent. Still miss her terribly. She’s been gone since a week after 9/11.

I'm sorry. I know how tough that is. Thanks for giving her the loving home she deserved.

Thanks. I think she was reincarnated in my cat. She’s gone too. Feeding the birds until the next animal adopts me. 🙂
