Linda and Emmylou with Dolly at Dolly's Music Cares awards ceremony during Grammy Weekend here in L.A.: It looks to have been just as much a love fest for Linda as it was for Dolly (IMHO).

That picture of her in the garden is good to see. Notwithstanding her condition (which is both a personal and an artistic tragedy to bear) she looks more at ease, and I'm glad that she can find such moments.

Yes, it hurts her to no longer be able to sing. But her stoicism is still there; as she has said, she has lived a very wonderful and creative life, and whatever is left of it, she intends to live to its fullest as she can. She's still not ready to say goodbye to her fans or her peers.

Linda does plan, if the Parkinson's problems don't affect her too much, to attend the Kennedy Center Honors with her fellow nominees (the cast of Sesame Street; actress Sally Field; Michael Tilson Thomas, the music director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra; and legendary R&B band Earth, Wind, and Fire) in December (the ceremony is on December 8th, and will be broadcast on CBS on the 15th).

Growing up in Arizona as she did, Linda knew her way around riding horses, as can be gleaned by this picture of her on a horse as a youngster: To quote Eddie Murphy in 48 HRS.: " There's a new sheriff in town."
