Great interview. I too discovered Lu as the Rough Trade album came out. One night I was in the garage wrenching on my car and listening to a small public radio station when the DJ chose to play the album straight through. By the second song, I stopped, went to my living room, turned the stereo on and sat transfixed. Not long after I saw Lu in a tiny venue (with the great Gurf Morlix on guitar) and actually snuck out back during break and there she was and I got a chance to tell her how bowled over I was with her music. It's been a 30+ year love affair since.
What a great interview and I agree with Lucinda. A great interviewer. Kind , considerate , thoughtful , insightful , passionate and a soft speaking voice. Good going !
Great interview Rosemary! Just experienced Lucinda Williams at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, she is amazing in person. The music and lyrics in every song are so beautiful, you don't want the song to end. Lucinda you are impressive, as is your band! Thanks for a great evening Queen Lucinda, keep on rockin!
❤Lucinda that was a sweet interview, I wanna read her book now. Yes certain bars really are little communities, I have one in my town that is very warm feeling.
Will you please top interrupting when she is finishing her points, and she is reflecting fully and maybe wanting to add further info. Please check people such as Rick Beato for the way to allow your guest to share their thoughts fully. My 2c
thank you. i kept thinking this is not a good time for rw's massive ego to come out. she seemed to try holding it in but at the worst possible times, she can't help herself. it's bad enough when she has to finish others' sentences and tell them what they really mean rather than what the guest is actually saying. but to start correcting and interrupting someone working to overcome a serious stroke is just ego run-amuck in the worst. rw has surrounded herself with only people who will tell her she is the greatest - and that level of self-importance has run a once proud station into the ground. for years you could request lu's songs till blue in the face and she was no longer hearing any of it. give her the chance to do an interview, however, and she suddenly loves the guest's work and jumps on the chance to tell the guest just how great rw is. it is an act that ran thin years ago. what a missed chance to hear a painfully shy and deeply introspective writer open up. the interviewer is so full of herself, unfortunately, that she couldn't see that in front of her.

Every minute we get more time with Ms. Williams, the more blessed we are.

Great interview Rosemary!
Rosemary Welsch is a national treasure, as is WYEP. And of course Lucinda.
Really good interview. Thanks for sharing.

LOVE the memoir, the music and Lucinda and I agree, great interviewer!

Lucinda and our own 412 Rosemary. Just spectacular. Rosemary is a masterful interviewer and Lu is a Queen.
Rosemary, you are awesome... great inspiration...
Lovely interesting interview.

Looking Good Lu!.
I gave her rhinestones, she gave me a heavy blanket
