I'm looking for a new normal. Learning to live by myself and getting established in a new job in a new town away from my kids is lonely and frustrating. I'm trying to figure it out. I grew up without much exposure to good music. Top forty pop stuff and that's a shame. I've been singing You Got Gold all day. Singing it to myself. I have to believe it. When I'm good and mad Saddle in the Rain does the trick. 

I met a young widow on this site. I asked how she was getting along. Her husband died and she's got a baby girl. She said she puts herself to sleep with music. I was envious of her knowledge and long personal history of so much great music. And, she grew up on John Prine. That's one lucky little baby. Her mama's gonna be all right.
