“I know you’ll remember me when I’m gone
Remember my stories, remember my songs
I’ll leave them on earth, sweet traces of gold” –
Alice Gerrard
Sweet traces of gold… that is what this site is about. Quotes from brilliant poets, authors and songwriters and what they mean to me.
My favorite version of this song is Rhiannon Giddens – Calling Me Home (with Francesco Turrisi). The song calls out our mortality and when the time comes to let go. Check it out, but be prepared as it really touches the soul.
