  • Aw that's terrible. :( I'm not quite sure who she is, but that's sad. Especially for it being Mother's Day.

  • I was shocked and shaken as I read the news that Dottie Rambo had been killed in an accident. I had meet her about a month ago, here in Nashville, as she spoke to an eager audience about the craft of songwriting. She was elegant and friendly, with a warm smile that welcomed everyone she came into contact with. That evening, she went out of her way to connect even with the shyest in the room.

    She shared stories, sang a few songs accompanying herself on guitar and gave life lessons on songwriting. It was hard to watch her leave after captivating the audience, so many generations apart from her own.
    Her wisdom and experience were timeless.

    Her life work of music included around 3,000 published works, an extreme accomplishment. She didn’t speak about her longsuffering, or how she overcame being paralyzed and out of the industry for at least eighteen years, another extreme
    accomplishment. She died the way she lived, working, on her way from one performance to the next.
