I got this album while I was in high school, and you fell in love with Janis the first time you heard it. You used to come into my room and sit and listen to it with me over and over. It was awesome to be able to share her music with you. To this day I have the CD in my car, and I think of you with joy when I'm cruising down the Texas highways, blasting her at full volume.
You told me you saw "A Night With Janis Joplin" on Broadway, and were sad that I wasn't there to share the night with you. Likewise, I have eaten at Threadgill's here in Austin....the very place Janis got her start. You know I was thinking of you while I was there. I was planning it as a must-see for when you came to visit. Now I think about you every time I drive by.
Back in late June of last year I watched a Janis biopic on Netflix--"Little Girl Lost". I texted you about it that day, and was puzzled that you didn't respond. Well, sweetheart, you couldn't respond....you were already gone.
Janis will always remind of you.
