Such a beautiful tribute Erin. We had the amazing pleasure of working on both of the albums you mention here - your Hundreds of Lions, her The California Years. Thanks for sharing this and your memories.
Jill’s death has been hitting me hard in uneven waves: regret at the local shows I’ve missed and the future performances nullified, sadness at a profile unburnished by the greater public. So your defense of her not needing what she was “owed” is quite moving to me, and I’m grateful for it.
(I’m also amused that you didn’t seem to meet until 2009 since my first time seeing you play live was at a Western Mass mini-festival that I went to in 2002, in large part, because she was playing. https://smartovercoat.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/img_0698.jpeg )
