She’s the best! I saw her at an outdoor venue summer before last -puttin it DOWN in 97 degree heat. I play her We’ll Never Turn Back album about once a week.
This is such a beautiful piece, Matthew. It succeeds in balancing our trepidation and hope as we move into the new year, while showing us the music that will lead the way. Happy New Year.
I LOVE this. We are lucky that she lives in Chicago and I just saw her last year when she performed at a concert to support a juvenile advocacy organization. What a lovely tribute to an American treasure. Happy New Year, Matthew.
Simply beautiful, as usual ❤️ Thank you for your warmth and your heart and hope. You can see these things so well in others because they are set so deeply in you. Happy New Year. May it be full of all good things for you ❤️
Thank you so much, this is such a kind thing to say. Thank you for all your help and support with this page (and with everything!) throughout the year. Happy New Year to you, too - and I hope the same for you! ❤️
I love this song so much.
Never gets old, does it!
Never. Almost like Mavis hasn't.

She is just the absolute greatest, isn't she? Never brings anything less than the absolute best. She's such a wonder
Happy New Year Matthew.
Thanks, Margaret. Happy New Year to you, too. Looking forward to reading more Ninki Substack next year

Thanks so much, Erin - I am so glad that balance comes through. Looking forward to more Infinity going up on trial in 2025! Happy New Year
Greg Kot wrote an excellent biography of Mavis you might enjoy. Great essay
Thank you, Paul! I have got a copy of that excellent book signed by Mavis herself!

Thanks Roberta. As always, I am ever jealous of the artists you get to share the streets of Chicago with! Happy New Year to you, too
