The news is sad enough, but I'm not saying goodbye, because Louis isn't gone at all -- I'm with him singing his songs all the time -- and Louisa Jo isn't going anywhere either -- she stays with me in all she had the courage to reveal about the source of art -- any art. So either I think she is a Pitman gone tappy-lappy doun the lawlands or I decide that she is a woman in love who has gone to sea to find that scoundrel who ran off leaving only a song as his excuse. Either way, she/he isn't going anywhere. Like the rest of us, who are also staying right here.
