E-mail I received this evening:
I was babysitting Dad for months. Horrendous tongue C-word. Hard to understand his words. Passed peacefully as he could at home with me and cat. He was so angry, I tried to make him laugh all the time like I did my whole life and how he made me laugh all my life. He never had fun but wait: one day towards the end I played your Beatles [cover] song "I Wanna Suck Your Dick." I hadn't seen the lips go up in months and months. The chest moving forward. LAUGHING. Made our week. And his. He adored it. I don't wanna just focus on schticky (yet to me soulful) covers and other like that only when I type about your stuff, as I adore gobs of your music. But I just wanted to tell you that story.
