I have seen Iris live several times, including on “The Mountain Stage”. One of those appearances was when I took my mother and a family friend to the show, about 4 hours from my home. One of the songs done that evening was an excellent version of “The Long Black Veil” everyone did to close the show. I have checked from time-to-time to get that song, as it was not a part of the broadcast version. Recently, I went to…

“BLESS THEM, O LORD” My daughter is Russian. My husband and I brought her from Siberia to the States in 2005. She was just a few months shy of six years old.
