We sit down and order tea, and we talk for a while as we drink our tea and then I ask her to dance. I have hypnotized her so her Parkinsons has no effect on her and as we dance, we grow younger in our bodies, souls and hearts, until both of us are 20 years old again. Then, we leave the cafe, arm in arm, gazing into each other's eyes...

If I knew she was on the way I would make sure that I had a t-shirt on, but that what was on it would be half covered by my jacket. Linda would walk in and see my t-shirt which to her eyes seems to say, "Linda says: Vote for Trump!" She would walk up to me and give me a big punch on the nose. Then I would take off my jacket allowing her to see the complete phrase: "Linda says: DON'T vote for Trump!" She then would spend the rest of the evening trying to make it up to me.  |

You have quite the imagination. lol Yes, I do have quite the imagination but if I could actually make something like this happen for her, I would. I'd also give her singing voice back to her, if I could. The imagination is the better story, the reality would be something else altogether. I know I'd never have a problem talking to Linda, but I wouldn't want it to be where I'm just a fan who's a nuisance to her or someone who's annoying her. In reality, I'd still respect her privacy, even if we were in the same cafe or room. I might say hello and try to say a few words beyond nice to meet you, but I'd bow out quickly unless she said it was okay, that she wanted to talk. |

Maybe but I thought I read somewhere that when she wasn't singing in those country clubs or bars in California in the 60s, she could sometimes be found dancing. But, I didn't really mean dancing as in dancing in my little story, but in what would give her youth back to her. I believe we'd all like to turn back the clock that counts our age if we could, and despite what so many of us say otherwise. But, my story was just one of whimsy and fantasy, and nothing serious. |

I would love to ask her about her singing.. Did she practice a lot when she was young and what did her voice sound like as a child? lol.. I'd talk to her about Bernie lol.. her flower garden back in Tucson and how she grew hollyhocks or delphiniums/snap dragons or foxgloves (I think I saw that or those variety on her patio for A.D. article) hard to imagine that variety growing in the harsh Tucson sun...Vintage dishes and cooking..

Besides commiserating with her about the loss of her singing voice, I guess I would ask her to elaborate a little more about what she talks about in the first part of her memoir about growing up in the extreme summer heat of the Sonoran Desert, and her experiences of seeing the last vestiges of the Old West life, both from an American and a Mexican perspective, before "progress", such as it was, swallowed everything primitive and vestigial about the desert..

I loved ronstadtfanaz's great response and I thought it was sooooo good, and I thought how could I possibly top that? I like writing, and used to write songs and stories but haven't written many in years. I really should start back up, if I could find the time and the patience. I'm not the world's fastest typist and it used to take me hours just to write maybe ten pages. Of course, I was going back and editing and rewriting as I went, so that may have had something to do with it. |

Tell me, when I posed the question, were you thinking of a 25 or a 69 year old Linda ? |

Tell me, when I posed the question, were you thinking of a 25 or a 69 year old Linda ? The ages as we are now, Linda 69 to my 61. Geez, I don't like thinking about being that old!  But, I never saw the age difference between Linda and me as being that big of a deal and saw the dancing as being kind of a magical dance that would take both of us to where both of us were in our 20s and free of our various aches and pains and illnesses. Linda has more health problems than me, and I really wish I could return her to 20ish-something days, maybe to when she was just starting out, along with myself, and we could live those days again. Maybe the next life? I know Linda once believed in reincarnation. I still do but I've often thought that once Linda's present life is over, her next life wouldn't be as a singer. I don't know that she would want to be a singer again or if she'd be allowed to be another singer. I don't believe in a reincarnation in which we're here to learn lessons. That's sort of like the guy who rolls the large rock up the hill only for that big rock to roll right back down the hill again, and he rolls it up again. I believe we reincarnate because we want to, not because we have to and it's because we want to experience the physical life. But, there is a sleep and a forgetting of the previous life, and then we'll plan what we'll be in our next life. But, if it were up to me, I'd keep Linda as she has been through her ages, from young and incredibly beautiful to her older self, still beautiful and full of grace. Of course, if we are here to learn lessons, Linda could be off limits in the next life because she'll probably be a nun! |

It's a hot summer night in 1980. Linda walks into the Museum Cafe in NYC with several other "Pirates" cast members. We quickly find a spot at the bar. Linda goes over to the juke box and selects "Refugee" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The music is blaring…that's all I recall (fade to black).

I would be looking but trying not to stare or be seen to be.
Then in my most cultured English, Peter Asher-ish voice, say hello, that I am an English fan of hers, and that I am honoured to meet her. Leave the rest to Linda...

I would probably do similar, hb, but I don't have the Asher-ish English accent, lol. eddiejinnj
