I love that question about unknown opening acts that became favorites. I thought of two right away. Both ofmthem opened for Nancy Griffith a few years apart. One is Iris Dement, who remains a favorite. And the other is Mary Gauthier, who I hadn't heard in years. It was this song, "I Drink," that sent me reeling during that first show. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ1aPaP1_Ew

Question for your next mailbag: I was watching the Bruins-Senators game last night and there was a break in the action when the puck went out of play. While the players were lining up for a face-off, the PA played The Stooges' "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog". Pretty racy song for a professional sporting event, no? So, my question is this: What's the most inappropriate song you've ever heard in a public venue? Follow up question: Were you as giddy as I was when you heard it?
