One day this fall, my phone rang too early in the morning for it to be anything but bad news. Stephen Appleby, one of my English cousins, was calling. His mother, my aunt Audrey, had died hours earlier – sadly but not unexpectedly, given her congestive heart failure and fragility at 96. “She just kind of stopped breathing. It was very peaceful.” He was trying to contain his emotions. “She left five pages of instructions. And she wanted you to give the eulogy at her funeral.”

I go way back with East Nashville troubadour Todd Snider, who died Nov. 14. One of my fondest memories comes from the 1990s, when his band, the Nervous Wrecks, were doing some dates with my band, the Rugburns. We played wiffle ball inside a club in Indianapolis in the middle of the day. I remember thinking, “You can do this? Play wiffle ball inside a club during soundcheck.”Singer-songwriter Will Kimbrough was smiling the whole time as he pitched to me. He played lead guitar in the Nervous Wrecks and threw a mean curveball. Todd was the instigator and the merrymaker.
