Musical Interlude: Listening to some Nanci Griffith today, I was struck by this song of regretful goodbyes, when breaking up is the best for both parties. One of the more mature breakup songs I've heard.

Musical Interlude: "Storms" was the first Nanci Griffith album I ever bought, and this opens the album. A quiet song of heartbreak, but with a delicacy rarely found. And that line about how "love has a voice of its own" can mean so much.

"I Don't Want to Talk About Love," performed by Nanci Griffith.

Musical Interlude: I was listening to some more Nanci Griffith today...I love this album, one of the best of her early ones, IMHO. Many lovely songs on it, I had a hard time choosing one, but this one appeals today. This one really reflects my ambivalent feelings about my own home town.

"You Can't Go Home Again," performed by Nanci Griffith.

Musical Interlude: Nanci Griffith is a great favorite of my sister and I, and we introduced her to our parents. This particular song is a family favorite; even my dad, who professed to think she was merely OK, was caught humming this from time to time. Mom says that if she ever hears this on the radio, even the Bette Midler cover, she stops what she's doing, even pulls over to the side of the road, to listen and reminisce.

"From a Distance," performed live by Nanci Griffith, on the David Letterman show.

Musical Interlude: I'm a longtime fan of the late Nanci Griffith, and her passing hit me hard. This song, with Jimmy Buffet on backing vocals, makes me think of my own affection for Baltimore.
