| It's been a long time since I'd seen her or been in touch, but Nanci and I were close in the 1980s when she came to Montreal frequently to play concerts at The Golem, the folk club I was then running. She'd always stay with me and we had some great times. One day she wrote the song, "Banks of the Pontchartrain," in my apartment. -MR |
