The Band & Isbell. Each has repeatedly brought me to tears. I'm glad your grandmother had such eclectic good taste (and the sense to listen to some crap as well). Thanks for sharing, as always!
So much to love in this essay. It’s the love that you clearly feel for the main characters in this piece -- Your grandmother, The Band, Jason Isbell -- and by extension, all those connected to them, that shines brightest here.
Seriously publishable. And you took the photos of Isbell too? Great shots.
This passage stuck out in particular (and could be a mantra to live by): I don’t have to like it,” she said on another afternoon when I caught her checking out MTV in its nascent days. “But I won’t know what I like unless I watch and listen.”
