I know this is a completely horrible photo because both BONNIE RAITT and I – most notably Bonnie – are missing the tops of our heads because of that damn uber-blasting spotlight this was shot under. But I had to post it because I would be nowhere without Bonnie Raitt, the very first artist EVER to cut a song of mine, \u201cGot You on My Mind,\u201d co-written with David Lasley<\/a>, in 1974. This was shot last Thursday night at the Songwriters Hall of Fame<\/a>where Bonnie was inducting John Prine<\/span><\/a>. She sang his \u201cAngel From Montgomery,\u201d which was on the same album as my song and was one of the earliest background vocal sessions I ever attended. I hope Bonnie doesn\u2019t see this photo because she will kill me for posting it with the middle of her head missing but I had to do it because I was so excited to see her. Easily one of the most consistently kind, brilliant and generous artists in the music industry ever!
