Summer of '69. Woodstock (the town, not the festival in Bethel - for those who may not know, there is a difference). Never did two voices make love like these two. The passion and the pain were in them, and in everyone who, having a life and soul, shared the moments. If either of them visit this thread again: Lady, you are not a black woman whose voice and soulful being (care) was (is) beyond forever. You are every woman, and always will be. HC - your arrogance was tempered by true talent to interpret the chords of a 12-string, the notes of meaning, and the power of the music. There are two beginnings that resonate in me most: "Child, child, child, of my mind..." "Once I ran the rocks, down to the seashore..." A lifetime has passed, full of sorrows and happiness, sweetness and pain. When so young, you knew of these things. Of a kind. Now, of the years, you know them, of a kind. Now, may you share them again. That would be wise and good - beyond yourselves. Your journey, briefly together, was not to profit - it was to teach. Lessons must be renewed. Peace, gentle souls. PS - I agree with the others of you - the greatest duet in "recorded" history. Period.
