Remember the songs “Isn’t always love…” (“that makes you hang your head”…); “Tell me why?;”Someone to Lay Down Beside Me” Sure you do, if you listened to singers like Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt thirty years ago.
Remember Karla Bonoff? Maybe not – but she wrote those songs – and performed them well. I think I last saw Bonoff in the late 197os in Ithaca, N.Y. when I was a college student. Many moons later I have a chance to see her again, here in Des Moines where she’ll be performing on March 30 at the Temple for performing arts downtown. I’ll be there if I’m here.
This is my favorite line from a Wikipedia blurb on her: She is backed by her touring band, which includes the now deceased Kenny Edwards (guitar, bass, mandolin, cello, vocals).
