Marshall Chapman story on the Nashville Flood

[txaggirl91]

In the most recent edition of Garden & Gun magazine, Marshall Chapman writes about the Nashville flood and mentions singing with Jimmy at the show and talking to Mike Utley after the flood...

I awaken to rain. Lots of rain. Damn! I'm thinking. My hair appointment’s at noon. What a waste! My hair looks best in low humidity. High humidity or rain, and it’s Frizz City.

Normally, I don’t worry much about my hair, as it seems to have a life of its own. But tonight is no night for normal. I’ve just received word that Jimmy Buffett wants me to sing with him at Bridgestone Arena, so I should at least try to look my best. I grab a big umbrella and head for Green Hills as the rain continues to fall. Sheets and sheets of rain. And now the wind has kicked up, which makes the umbrella hard to handle. At Heads Up, conversations revolve around tornadoes. The last thing on anyone’s mind is a flood.

Thanks for the post, Janice. That is so sad...and just like Marshall Chapman, the tears flow. So many lives, so much property, so many memories, so many musical instruments, (((Mike Utley))) etc.

Marshall's special way with words made it all feel so personal...instead of "just news" about the Nashville flood.

Angie and I stumbled across it last weekend. Every time I thought about posting it, something came up.
