Because Velma’s NYC memorial is today; because it’s also her birthday; bcause, as Adulting is Hard, I can’t be there, I am instead posting links to songs that I particularly associate with her.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdQY7BusJNU "Time After Time" - Cyndi Lauper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ULhmJIi4s “Torn” – the original version by Ednaswap, not the cover by Natalie Imbruglia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifARMmcqhD8 “Drop The Pilot” – Joan Armatrading

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BilUu5Ip7s “They Don’t Know” – Tracey Ullman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-pWSHTQOFs “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by June Tabor & Oysterband; included not so much for the song, but because I remember Velma mentioning Tabor as a vocalist she would hope to sound like.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXDGMBe7E1M “Roadnotes” – Laura Nyro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1pMMIe4hb4 “Wuthering Heights” – Kate Bush

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLEMiDrdSKU “Leather and Lace” – Stevie Nicks and Don Henley

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy3hFyKVEk4: “The Black One” from Passing Strange; she used to love to do this at the Duplex, on *those* sorts of nights.

…and I’ll restrain myself to two Broadway numbers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbY2fSbT31A “Adelaide’s Lament” from Guys and Dolls, and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9-jbBbjLUc “Lonesome Polecat” from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. No, she never sang this (that I know of), but she mentioned it at piano bar many times in conversation.

…and now, to try to get to sleep, and perhaps dream about harmonizing on this: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152741174370266

…goodbye, Velma.
