Seth and me at our Little Gidding, in the wilds of Louisiana bayou country, in 1975. Back then, I was an unpublished writer, working on my MA in English, living as a single mom in a little shack in the country. I showered him with all the gifts I could afford. He was born making music. He was going to become a gifted drummer in a hardcore band, and then a sound engineer; now he makes his living in music and showers me with gifts. It's amazing how our stories turn out sometimes.
