Changing Places prompt

Every place has things that change — sometimes as the result of economics, sometimes because different people are involved, and sometimes for no clear reason that you know about. Think of a change to a place that you know well. Perhaps the local grocery store you grew up with as Smith and Bros. Grocery was bought out by a regional chain like Food Lion or Winn Dixie. Maybe the First National Bank of Smithburg suddenly becomes NationsBank. Perhaps the change was more personal -- an older sibling moves out of the house and your family changes the room to a guest room or an office. Think of a specific change and narrate the events that occurred. Readers should know the details of the change, and they should know how you feel about the changes that occurred.

Emmylou's Deeper Well

I love this song, "Goin' Back to Harlan." I've always known the Emmylou Harris cover, but just recently found the Anna and Kate McGarrigle original. The first video below is of Anna and Kate McGarrigle with Emmylou Harris performing the song with some fiddlers, a banjoist, and others. There's not a video on youtube of just Emmylou Harris performing the song.

I also LOVE "Deeper Well." Here's Emmylou's music video which aired on CMT.
