Now, I know my memory is not as good as yours, Anna, but I believe the song your Dad and I were singing together was another priceless hit from Jack and Misty, “I’m Calling from Virginia in the Rain.” No birds in this one, just the driving rhythm, the lonesome pine; the troubled fella, down to his last dime; he knows it must be 2 am by Blue Ridge Mountain time; he calls her from the pay phone and she answers without whine…talk about a duet that makes you melt! While your Dad can spin around the room, flapping his wings and jaws as the chicken fairy, this is the song that blessed our courtship and sealed the deal.
