I'm rather intrigued that (apart from yourself CBT) no other women have commented on the passing of their musical icons. My sister wept for a week when The King died and spent 24 hours in a cinema watching his complete filmography (if that is a word) in one sitting!
For me it will the eventual passing of His Bobness. I'm not looking forward to it. Cohen was the most recent and before that George Harrison.
Music and words do carve their way into one's psyche somewhat!
A nicely worded piece Cynthia.

It's strange when someone you've known for years but never met can have such an effect. I had a similar experience when David Bowie died.

Music, and musicians, hold incredible power don't they? They give us the soundtrack of our lives.... So that when we hear a piece of music, we are transported back. I was deployed overseas with the Australian Army and on our visits to remote villages, we would often play Tracy Chapman. When I hear Tracy now, it takes me right back and I can smell the jungle and betel nut. Truly wonderful Cynthia, thanks so much for sharing that moment.
