Joan Kirner

#41. At the end of the day, I think that I'm making music for me as that 12-year-old kid in front of my boombox every day. I try to think about, if I'm that little kid, what would he like?

Bringing gifts and love tonight,
Have a prosperous New Year!
And a happy day to last!

Yoko Ono

Frank Deford

#86. The end crowns all,
And that old common arbitrator, Time,
Will one day end it.

William Shakespeare

!

Eleanor Hallowell Abbott
