Very sorry to learn that Ms. Lynn is no longer with us. She was amazing.

I guess my favorite is her first recorded song and first hit -- Honky Tonk Girl, another one of those songs I shouldn't like but do anyway.
-- In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.
-- America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking. -- Wilma Mankiller
