nirvana entry

here is my best friend from high school, lindsay, with wes in the background at a christian camp in southern oklahoma. lindsay and i met in high school but we met wes at camp. i can't not think about her without thinking of Nirvana. both her parents were alcoholics so if we weren't taking refuge in her room we were driving around smoking pot or going to a local show at the armory in edmond. okc had a pretty good punk scene that i am so thankful for.

My boyfriend Ira and I at a going away party in the San Fernando valley. He was appalled when i didn't immediately love Nirvana as he did. Later, i'd listen to them more closely as i tried to figure out parts of that always seemed hidden.

awesome new nirvana entry!

new NIRVANA project entry

My daughter Caitlin introduced me to Nirvana. I took this picture of her in the Caribbean in 1994. In the week after this picture was taken, she broke her back and spent the next six years in rehabilitation. I remember clearly Cobain's voice as the soundtrack of this time when she lost so much.

no story until after new years...the pic is pretty great for now!

nirvana entry...

I was married to Gary in 1991 when Nevermind came out. He was a bassist in a Boston area band called 'The Box.' Immediately, he was convinced Nirvana would permanently change music, and we listened to our new Nevermind cassette over and over driving from Boston toward Poughkeepsie, NY. It was on this drive we were struck by a drunk driver and Gary sadly did not survive.
