Solitude: Lonely Girl

Todd Snider: Lonely Girl (live recording plus intro from Tales from Moondawg's Tavern***)

[purchase] - the studio version on Todd's 2000 Happy to Be Here CD...

Boy meets girl... in a rehab center, of all places - takes him a while to get up his courage to ask her out... and they not only need the permission of the center's board to date... but they have to keep a plant alive for a set period of time. He's a singer-songwriter, she's an artist... and they end up getting married - sometimes two Wrongs do make a Right... and truth is stranger than fiction... which you'll hear if you listen to the entire story and song posted...

P.S. The illustration above is an actual painting by Todd's wife, Melita...
