Thank you kindly, as Nanci would say.

Great tribute. Nanci was a beautiful soul. One of my all-time favorite Nanci Griffith songs (Gulf Coast Highway), captures Nanci's passing, so beautifully: "And when she dies she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing And she will fly away to heaven Come some sweet blue bonnet spring"

Beautiful collection of Nanci's songs. She was a lovely soul. Thanks for posting.

Dear Maura and Pete Such a beautiful tribute you just did. We all know that someday, somehow we will leave this earth dimension. Also we all know that Love is all we take from this incarnation.

I'm a Dublin man and I know Nanci lived here at one time. My big regret is now I didn't get to see her because I was so caught up in life then to get the time for gigs even though I loved her music. Now I'm the same age as Nanci and most nights I listen to her and watch her shows with a couple of beers. And I'm so saddened at her loss, like I lost a real friend who I never got the chance to see and maybe even get to tell her how much I love her music. Loving this tribute.

Mikki3562, I know thousands and thousands of folks feel the way you do. Nanci's songs spoke to us all on such a deep, personal level. I do know that Nanci loved Dublin, and I accompanied her there several times. I know that her spirit resides there for sure...she had a soul connection to your beautiful city, she wrote about it more than once, and she always looked forward to returning. Keep her music in your heart, and she'll never truly be gone. - MK

I just paused the video that I’m watching, Nanci’s remembrance. When I found out she passed up, I cried ( I’m 63). It hurt my heart. I never saw her live and I regret that. During the 1980’s, her music pulled me mentally, and emotionally out of many hard times. Since I heard of her death, I’ve listen to “Love At The Five and Dime “25-30 times. It’s my favorite her songs, well favorite of 20 songs but this is the top of the pyramid for me. I’m so sorry for YOUR loss and pain. Thank you for your Sunday shows which I just discovered. I’ll.be there on Sundays, Okie time. I’ll catch y’all on stage maybe if this plague lifts from the land. MASKS.

Also saw you with Nanci at Birchmere in Alexandria VA. Great memory!

In 1985, I worked as a volunteer at The Speakeasy musicians cooperative in Greenwich Village, NYC. My job this one Friday night was to set up microphones for the headlining musical act ...someone named Nanci Griffith. As I stood next to her, making sure she was plugged in, the mic was at the right height and angle for her to sing, she was so approachable and grateful for my efforts. As the lights dimmed and the emcee introduced her, I stood on the side in this teeny tiny venue (a middle eastern restaurant by day, a night club by night) looking out at the packed room, not knowing what to expect. I am not a religious man but, as so many have said everywhere else, when she opened her mouth to sing, hers was the voice of an angel. The warmth and passion of her music was equally as stunning. I have been enraptured by Nanci ever since, so thankful for having met her and for the simple, soulful joy her music has brought to my life. And, like so many others, I have been taken aback by how sad I have been since her passing. I have stood in the kitchen, listening to her songs, and cried. I am humbled by her words, her music and her spirit. I miss just knowing she is in the world; there is a hole in it now. @Maura&Pete, thank you for this. I know it is helping me, and others, to grieve, accept and eventually heal. RIP, Ms. Griffith.

That's a great story about her "traveling in the pickup truck" days!

At a Nanci-G concert in '89, she and the band did the 1st tune and the band mix was too loud. When she asked the crowd how the sound was, a guy near me called out that the band was too loud, whereupon Nanci dressed him down by saying that she does not go to his work and yell at him. I felt badly for him as she had inquired, but at the end, when she tossed out the customary yellow rose, it flew directly into this guys hands. A miracle that I'm sure Nanci would have appreciated.

A beautiful tribute, thank you. Saw Nanci on her Australian tour back in 2012 and I haven't forgotten that most memorable performance. She is now "waltzing with angels"...LOVE to you Nanci and all your adoring fans

Nanci & her music saved my life, over & over. It’s hard to overstate her impact on my soul, my mind, my heart, my social consciousness, and my fragile heart. Thank you 🙏🏻

When we were young, back in the early 1960's in our Austin neighborhood, Nanci and I and our friend Sheri would sit in her front yard, Nancy would play her guitar and sing us songs she had made up. One I loved and remember for all these years was one about a young girl who got her toes stuck in the track, a rail road track. I will always remember those days.

Thank you Pete and Maura for this heart-felt celebration of Ms Griffith's life work, and lifting up in remembrance her generous, kind and oh so talented soul. Most of all for allowing her to shine through the stories and music and to connect us to that beautiful spirit that has now gone home. She truly knew that the purpose in life was to do as much good as one could while here, and that she did do. Do know that you have done right by her, with grace as you dedicated this week to her, and we are most fortunate for your very own gifts and talents.

She always seemed to have a sadness about her that came out in her writing but not in her performing.

Texas State of Mind is the first thing I heard by Nanci, too. I was in a record store in Omaha, and I heard THAT VOICE. I had to buy the album! Made me homesick for Texas.

I was blessed to first hear Nanci early in my life and her music helped me understand and express many of the deep feelings I have experienced over the years. Your tribute is such a gift, thank you.

I will never stop missing Nancy (and John Prine) and a year later it still hurts. Your voice does Nancy such an honor. This is such a wonderful tribute to a wonderfully talented musician. Thank you.

A splendid tribute to Nanci , many thanks .

Thank you for putting this out here. It couldn't have been easy to share your grief but so fitting that it be done through the tunes that are part of us all. Nanci was a special gift to this world. I have lost quite a few people that I've loved over the years and I'll always count the blessing of having those folks in my life as long as I live. If there's a musical heaven, Nanci is up there singing with Handsome Johnny, Kate Wolf, Steve Goodman and my late wife Nancy who shared Nanci Griffith with me when we first met back in 1986. Bless them all.

Great tribute. Thank you. "We'll have memories for company".

thank you ,Nancy was beloved by so many of her fans.

Loved her voice and heartfelt song. Only saw her live once at her youngest, introduced and singing along with Bill Stained at a little venue in Minneapolis above Midwest Mountaineering called Coffeehouse Extempore? At first I thought she reminded me of Emilou, but after listening, I thought no, this short, pretty full of energy girl is special, and we're going to hear more from her for sure. And I did as all of you did for many years. I don't like the word cover but her songs and voice will endure for many years to come for listeners and singers/players/troubadors like myself. God bless you Nancy. Thanks Kennedys
