Message:  I'm sorry I never got to meet Marijohn Wilkin, but just knowing the songs she wrote is enough to give her enormous respect!

If you haven't heard Sammi Smith's version of Long Black Veil, you've missed one of her most incredible performances, we think. It's on The Best of Sammi Smith CD. We talked with Sammi about it at G4 and she said she loved making that recording.

She said Ed Hamilton did the eerie voice in the background and credits Jim Malloy with coming up with the idea for the arrangement. Chills me!!

And Karen, I had no idea she wrote "I Have Returned". Elton has sung that song at church a time or two.
