It was always an extraordinary song to me, but after I watched the TV movie of his life and death, it became searing.

The irony is that my husband really, really does not like his singing, and felt that way before we even met :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-13511989406889463532014-08-24T16:50:59.843+00:002014-08-24T16:50:59.843+00:00Dimming of the Day by Richard Thompson.
