Notes From All Over: The Celebrity Edition

I was going to feature these overnight but I decided to wait. I will talk about these later, perhaps tonight.

• Jerry Jeff Walker: Long, Long Time, 1989 -- for the backstory:  
• Linda Ronstadt: Long, Long Time, 1970 -- for the whole story;

• Part I;
• Part II;
• eagerly waiting for Part III.
