You would have to send in the song that makes me burst into tears....
Those "old time" couples had a love that lasted a lifetime, - I'm not so sure about this generation.
Thank you for the beautiful words.... I'm smiling now....
I have a similer story with my grandparents from my dads side. My grandfather died exactly a year later on the "same" day his wife died. He lived to be 90 yrs old when he died ( in his sleep ). My grandmother was 86 yrs old. She fell and broke her hip. She just never recovered.
My family is from Palermo, Italy ( I hope I'm spelling that right )

How did I love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were clean
So warm and insightful
Were you in my eyes
I was sure the rightful
Guardian of my life
Damn you betrayer
How you lied
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around you feet ....
For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee ....
You were
All that I could see ....
I've got my sight now
I see everything you hid
So don't you try to right now
All the wrong you did
I might forget you
But not forgive
But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around your feet
For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee
For seven years
You were so revered
I made offerings of
Anything and everything I had
You were
All that I could see ...

Saw her in either 99 or 2000 in new haven. I yelled this song out and she played it. I think it was during the Ophelia tour. She does a great cover of after the gold rush.
Thanks for the info ....
Cincy, Ohio is about 4 hrs away. I'm going to have to mark this one on my calendar. :thumbup:
It will be so worth it! I saw her live in a small venue in NYC a few years ago. So amazing, and I heard it wasn't even her best show (I think she did like a 5 night run or something).
Rock on Natalie! :ugeek:
fantastic... thanks for sending.
THE ORIGINS OF OZ
"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a children's story unlike any other. Enthusiastically embraced by young and old alike, author L. Frank Baum's beloved classic was the "Harry Potter" of its day. It has been adapted and re-invented by multiple generations and has inspired the most beloved characters and iconic pair of shoes in pop-culture history. But how did this classic tale come to be? Visit the locations that inspired Baum's Land of Oz, dig into his family's archival collection, and hear interviews with fans and historians as we share this heart-warming story of the man behind the
