Yesterday I happened upon the video of you performing the song you co-wrote with Mr. Delaney & "THE MAN"
(Mr.Leon Russell- one of my HEROES)
***SUPERSTAR***
Which happens to be one of my all time favorite songs EVER. I want to say Thank You. For me, beautiful music motivates my soul. I am forever grateful to all of the musicians & their songwriters who have blessed my life with gifts of song. You are one.
To hear you explain to us that your delivery which you call *Free Falling*
Completely connected as each word, line, verse? Directed your accompanying piano and guitar to follow NOT THE CHART notes but YOU.
That is what my mother meant.
when I was 16 and in Vocal training at our local community college (she worked there & xeroxed copied every single song I thought I might perform solo in class once a week) she asked me this question:
To Whom do you look to on stage when your singing?;I answered I follow the piano. She told me that's NOT right.
It was them who are to look to, following MY lead as to accompany me.
Such truth I had never really seen in actuality, until yesterday. Perhaps now I can put that into practice without such hesitation as before, should I find a few great musicians to jam with some day.
Please have a wonderful today.
This has been so nice for me to write to you! I feel so inspired. Thank you.
With Love & Respect ALWAYS,

Sweet woman, I only live a few blocks from you. Heard a new song to me, on KSHE, that you and Eric Clapton wrote together. I was traveling down I-55 to Arnold, MO. I have not turned my music up in a long time. I did with that song, cried while driving south. Thank you again for being you. I have watched you for years.

Crocheted sweater

Hello! I'm here because I'm a crocheter, and I'm really interested in the sweater Bonnie wears on the cover of Together. I believe the colors were altered for the album cover, as I think that Eric Clapton wears the same sweater during his performance with The Dirty Mac as part of the Rock and Roll Circus. I'd really like to know if it was created from a pattern, or just made freehand, if Bonnie made it herself or if it was a gift, and any other history of the sweater, like what happened to it? I apologize if I'm being overly nosy, but it's captured my imagination, and I'd like to try to recreate it, if possible. Thank you for your time and consideration! :)
