Jean, I'm LOL at the story of how the video was made.

I wrote a longish post a few days ago, hit the wrong button and lost it, didn't have time to redo it right then. I think I have to post something here if I'm ever going to get that song out of top position in my head. I hear it all day long.

I was two rooms away when Bill played it. It sounded like your voice or at least one of your songs so I came in to find out what it was. That's when I said "That has the feel of a Jean Ritchie song." Bill didn't say a word. He played the video, watching my reaction. Basically I just melted. It is lovely. We played it two or three times and have played it several times since. I keep seeing images from the video and as I say the song won't leave my mind.

Years ago a co-worker, Jonyl Adams, sang "Black Waters" for me. Jonyl said the song had special meaning for him because he was from Perry County. Then he played one whole side of the "None But One" album for me, saying I should hear more of your music, and later gave me a copy.

I don't know how many hours I spent learning the words of those songs! Not to perform, just to sing. When I met Bill we used to sing "See That Rainbow Shine" together -- we both knew it. "Too Many Shadows" was a favorite. I still have those hand written pages.    Seeing the video and learning the Johnny Cash story makes me love it even more. Thank you for posting the video.
