I'm weeping.....I just wish I could invade her personal space enough to give her a HUGE hug and thank her for a lifetime of incredible music and inspiration and example. I just love this woman and I pray for her every day. Love you, Linda...and my voice teachers over the years always had me sing your songs because I can sing in your range, thanks to you! I'm 60 now and I know that in my life there will NEVER be another singer that has influenced me as much, or that I appreciate as much. LoveLoveLove, Liz
Actually, Linda is full of hate. She has said nasty things about conservative people, who have different political views from hers. I was very disappointed.
So humbling watching this. Today's generation would see an old lady while the rest of us see a legendary voice and gorgeous lady of the 70's & 80's. Willie Nelson said, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who haven't heard of her"
I know huh? The Students on my team are 19 - 22 years old. They had no clue how accomplished Linda is. Oh and BTW - they never heard of Santana, Earth Wind and Fire or Chicago. We need to keep educating the Youngins :)
Sending love right back, a smile is the best makeup a girl can wear thus I know the power your smile has on the world please keep sharing.did you attend any concert of the gem live?
@virginiamccarter6638~~Hi there~~I'm 69 and I have been a fan of Linda since day 1~~I will never get tired of listening to all of her music~~Best female artist ever~~Kelly Clarkson and Pink and Adele are also my faves today~~But there's only one Linda~~I seen her in concert in Syracuse N.Y, back in the early 80's~~Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris and The Stray Cats were part of that concert as well~~I took my Ma because she never went anywhere and she was blown away~~She loved Linda as much as I did and then she realized why I adored her so much~~The whole concert was great considering the fact I only wanted to see Linda~~My Ma had a great time too~~My heart breaks for Linda and I still pray for her~~Glad you got to see her as well~~Happy New Year~~💖💖💖💖💖~~
If there was a finer woman voice of the rock era , I have yet to hear it ! Linda's range is quite astonishing . To go from the high powered singing voice to the lowest bass in a matter of seconds with the most natural ease possible ,is in my book unprecedented.... This wonderful lady and her sensational Bands over the decades have lit up a huge part of my musical enjoyment . We rarely see talent of the calibre of Linda Ronstadt these days unfortunately . I'm a huge fanboy and from Scotland.
How could anyone not appreciate and care for this lovely human? I saw Linda sing in a smallish venue in Boston in the 70's. She was opening for Jackson Browne. They were taking turns opening for one another on the tour! It remains the best concert I have ever seen. Decades later I do not live too far from her childhood's Tuscon area. Her humane way and strong wish for us as people to do the right thing is her music now, to our ears...
Thank you Linda ❤ You have graced the music world with the most beautiful songs... your beauty always shines thru..even to this day. God bless you. ❤❤❤❤.
Everyone always talks about Linda's extraordinary singing abilities. Rarely mentioned is how intelligent she is. Always very thoughtful, curious and well informed. She was always very helpful to other women singers as she was a pioneer in the male dominated field.
Her intelligence is reflected in all the risks she took during her career, singing and mastering all those different genres - that is intellectual integrity and honesty. Linda was always her own person, seemingly unfazed by her stardom and amazing voice.
I'm glad she devoted her life to what she was passionate about so she wouldn't have to worry about the future. So very proud how she knew what to do each time she started a new interest in various music field such as pop songs from the 40 and singing Mexican Music to please herself and her father and many others. Her talent is so versatile it really made you take notice of her talent.
I have LOVED Linda as the most wonderful singer of the last 5 or 6 decades. I hope she realizes how much her living a life to her own personal DRUM has meant to the millions of her fans.
I was born and raised near Tucson and Linda was always my favorite singer. She has an amazing voice and family heritage. I love listening to her stories of her growing up years and her family. I have been a fan for 50 years!
I’m so sorry that this beautiful soul must witness what has become of the place where she was raised. I am so grateful to her for the beautiful music. 🌺✌️
4:454:47 I have wanted to comment so many times but everyone else is saying what I want to say, how solid Linda is in spite of changes beyond what she could control. She cannot sing because of illness but no one forgets that gorgeous voice. Others might complain but not Linda. she can hear her singing in dreams. she has the rare ability to keep moving forward, using what is left. Linda and I are both artists, and the same age. Would I be thta brave if I lost my eyes? I would try, because I am so inspired by her strength.
Linda conveys as much sincerity in her words as she managed to convey in her songs. Emotions that only those who give themselves to what they believe in can transmit. The truth of someone who undresses in front of an audience that looks at a single person and seems not to believe what they see, but leaves happy with what they saw.
Linda is my hero, my blue print, my mentor. She always has been and always will be. When I feel, in certain moments, that I am judged for being wholesome, the good girl instead of a "bad bitch", or too nice, I think of Linda. She stood out in the rock world as a mega talented, deep, intelligent, and wholesome (but not prudish), beautiful, woman. I could never compare to her but I aspire to have just a speck her beautiful soul.
I wish her well. It's a tough one for her. I have some of her albums. Loved listening because of her voice, the tunes and how they was done on my ears. It was so great to lie back to be immersed; flooded in her songs.
It really warmed my heart to know that two of my favorite people were a couple once: Linda and Jerry Brown. It's so nice to know they are still close friends.
Thank you for this interview. Love the book. Linda is a very special songbird. A vibe and voice all her own. The best live pipes on the planet - transformational for tough guys. Sigh...
I was surprised as much as the interviewer was to learn that Linda Ronstadt had a Christmas album. I just listened to it and it is perfection--just like the rest of Linda's work.
I love you Linda and I am glad you are taking about the Sonoran desert. I also live in Arizona and love the desert. Unfortunately they are scrapping it to build too many houses. Makes me sad.
Always loved playing her Top 40 Hit 'Different Drum' in Seattle. Still have a fresh copy of the 45. Thanks for the music, Linda! And thank YOU Nancy for this insightful moment! John Ross.
The Saguaro cactus, birds and other animals there are so beautiful and magical. Such intelligence as well as being gifted that she has. We should respect nature, and others! My first introduction to great songwriters was through her, and love reading the stories of her childhood, riding ponies in the desert. We must not build fencing in wild lands. We must not murder anyone over a border that is not even real, and not even ours.
Linda has been my lifelong favorite singer. I played her music so, so many times, and I wanted to be this beautiful, talented, woman. I had the good fortune of seeing her live, once. What a great singer. God Bless, Linda. You are loved❤️
Love this book and Cd. I made my own DVD version with whatever I could find on UA-cam to match the CD. Some I had to use ones with photos and one with a montage from a movie using a song. I'm so glad I made myself try to get into the Festival of Books and though was in the back, was able to get in and hear the talk with Linda and Lawrence Downes. I had a Framed Lola Beltran album cover I brought and gave to Mr Downes hoping he could get it to Linda. The cover I acquired from PDQ records where I worked for years. Did not want to throw it away though no vinyl inside. Yay for this interview!
Like Linda's Mom, I am a Michigander! ☺ Linda is one of my all time favorite singers. She is intelligent, poised, genuine. This book is a must have for my library. ✨
adore Linda Ronstadt. bright and sweet. listened first to a song called A different drum with the stone Poneys and enjoyed listening to all of her albums. love this interview. speaks honestly and caringly and stands up for injustices. I am sending love and wishing for her to have less sorrow and more peace. grateful for her beautiful music as well.
She was my idol. And she inspired me to sing in a band. So much fun and my guitar teacher was the best. He encouraged me to come to sing and the rest is great memories
Sending love right back, a smile is the best makeup a girl can wear thus I know the power your smile has on the world please keep sharing.did you attend any concert of the gem live?
Continue to thrive in health, happiness, wealth Linda! In mind, body and spirit! Your contribution to music has been beautiful and cherished to those who deeply appreciate the sonic sounds of music. The upcoming generations who will organically discover you will connect immediately to what the spirit in your voice resonated all those years ago. “Time” holds NO BOUNDS to the authenticity of the individual who sings from the “Heart”. Godspeed Linda!
Few recording artists know the inside and outs of the music industry of the 1970's-1980's like Linda does. Aside from being one of the best female singers of all time, she discovered and worked with more exceptional musicians than most. She was not a song writer. She didn't play an instrument. Yet, umpteen musicians wanted to work with her because when she covered a great song, she made it her own. She saw talent where talent really existed. Think of the late great Warren Zevon for example. The songs Linda covered over the years are clear indicators of her great taste and awareness of musicians and their music. Her cover of The Rolling Stones and LIttle Feat songs for example, are some of the best covers of those tracks. She never had to rely on her looks, although she could have, just her ability to be a hit maker and have that phenomenal voice. She is very well loved in the music industry.
Linda not only plays the guitar she DID write a song w/her Father, Gilbert Ronstadt & Kenny Edwards! The song "Lo Siento Mi Vida" on her "Hasten Down the Wind" album! The song is beautiful & reaches your innermost soul! Still one of my very favorites on my fav album of hers! Saw her first @ Greek Theater in Hollyweird in August 1970! Received her "Hand Sown... Home Grown" album for Christmas that year! In June 1972 took that same album cover to Knott's Berry Farm to see her again! Richie, her drummer @ the time took to her for me & she signed it! Don't think I drove home that night, must've floated, in Heaven! Been a fan, maybe a full-blown "air conditioner" since then! My email even hails my LOVE for her! She's a Musical Chameleon & THE BEST FEMALE SINGER EVER, HANDS DOWN! ❤❤❤ ✌️🤘
So glad to get to hear this interview. I need to hear these things to not feel so alone just in the world with all its craziness and to have more ideas of how to deal with all these things as life continues to be increasingly overwhelming in so many ways day by day. The simple yet comforting things she's letting us know about are important. Like the socks, and stuff like that. What small things can be done that help. This is a great interview. Thanks to both of you. 🌸🌊
Probably the best, and I mean best, pitch-perfect rock singer. And, of course, back then, every college-age male's visionary's girlfriend! But the expansion into light opera, showed out her versatility. I was blessed to watch Linda performing in "Pirates of Penzance" on Broadway in NYC. Outstanding.
That‘s exactly it Linda, you can’t save them all, but you can save a few. I live in Europe and we have the same issues with migration that the US has. Our migrants come from Africa, Syria, Afghanistan, Eastern Europe, etc. There have been discussions about a fence, which is unimaginable.
I was always a fan. I saw her twice in Washington DC when she did her big band and Mexican concerts. I was so thrilled when I found out was to appear at the Beacon Theatre, a few blocks from my apartment. It was my birthday so I splurged on a front row seat. She comes out, looks at the audience and says how great it is perform in the Upper West Side of Manhattan as it means there are no Republicans in the audience. I got up, walked out of the isle as loud as I could and went to the box office and demanded a refund.
Sending love right back, a smile is the best makeup a girl can wear thus I know the power your smile has on the world please keep sharing.did you attend any concert of the gem live?
I used to go see her sing at lil abners steakhouse in Tucson and play golf at Tucson national golf club. We dated for a while until I got a job in San Francisco. The rest is history ❤Michael
The comments condemning Linda for being a liberal, an atheist, or for looking so old are shockingly cruel and ignorant. Some people commented that she deserved to lose her voice, and that God took her voice away for a reason. I don’t believe in hell, but if I did, there’s a special place in hell for people who would say such extraordinarily cruel things about a beautiful artist who is living life with tremendous dignity while battling a dreadful terminal illness. She embodies such confidence, strength and compassion. If she read those awful comments she’d probably just laugh them off. I’m sure that dealing with stupid, mean and ignorant people is nothing new for her. She possesses a core of dignity and strength that you can never touch, no matter how much you try to tear her down. And picking on someone who is dying of Parkinson’s? Classy.
I've got to get up-to-speed on Linda Rondstad's music. I've listened to a lot of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, who came later. There's nothing like a great feminine voice. Moreover, I'm fortunate to live in Tucson and Southern Arizona, where the celebrated musician grew up.
Lindas Christmas album is two fold.She has some popular Christmas songs and then some very old English traditional ones.She says its not very good but she's modest.
I'm weeping.....I just wish I could invade her personal space enough to give her a HUGE hug and thank her for a lifetime of incredible music and inspiration and example. I just love this woman and I pray for her every day. Love you, Linda...and my voice teachers over the years always had me sing your songs because I can sing in your range, thanks to you! I'm 60 now and I know that in my life there will NEVER be another singer that has influenced me as much, or that I appreciate as much. LoveLoveLove, Liz
😪
I wish she was not an Atheist. I don't understand it.
beautifully said
I love her too and have for decades!!!!
I disagree with Linda her Christmas album is wonderful
I'll be a Ronstadt fan forever.
Linda is a compassionate warm intelligent woman who I absolutely love and respect! Been a fan for 40 years.❤❤
You have great taste! I remember I saw her for the first time in Berkely during the sixties. And her band was great! Been a fan ever since.
I second that emotion - been a fan for over 40 years now. When I found out that Linda physically, could no longer sing, I wept. ❤
I couldn’t get enough of her since I saw her on the Johnny Cash Show when she was 21 years old more than 50 years ago. She owned the ‘70’s.
Actually, Linda is full of hate. She has said nasty things about conservative people, who have different political views from hers. I was very disappointed.
@@suraya1224 - Well, I guess everybody loves her except for you.
This woman's a certified national treasure.
Multi-national!
@@JoeJoe-ng9qb well said - an international treasure!

Linda Ronstadt stunningly beautiful powerhouse vocalist from my childhood, your comment very well said, where does the time go 😮😮. Peace......
I have been listening to her cd she made with Nelson riddle orchestra for years! Love her ❤️ What an amazing artist! She seems so sweet in this one!
I am 67. I saw Linda at 19 on my birthday. I was blown away. Still love what she did for the music world.❤

There is no finer voice in the rock era, absolutely.
I have always felt that her presence on this planet has been a gift to the people who have witnessed how amazing a human being can be!!
How could anyone not appreciate and care for this lovely human? I saw Linda sing in a smallish venue in Boston in the 70's. She was opening for Jackson Browne.

She is so intelligent ....well spoken.I can listen to her for hours and not get enough She has so much to give

I completely agree. She is quite well rounded. A treasure.
She's A Genius's
I'm glad she devoted her life to what she was passionate about so she wouldn't have to worry about the future. So very proud how she knew what to do each time she started a new interest in various music field such as pop songs from the 40 and singing Mexican Music to please herself and her father and many others. Her talent is so versatile it really made you take notice of her talent.
My mom, may she rest in peace, was such a fan of Linda Ronstadt. ❤
A giant talent and one of the most accomplished musicians of my lifetime. She's done everything.
The best voice in the world . Saw her twice in concert ❤
@suzie mills - Jealousy abounds!
I have LOVED Linda as the most wonderful singer of the last 5 or 6 decades. I hope she realizes how much her living a life to her own personal DRUM has meant to the millions of her fans.

Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I have always been in awe of her, as an artist, a decent human, and an intellect. A woman who lived her life on her terms, and gave so much!
I love listening to her talk & her stories as much as I loved listening to her singing. She's a bright light.❤
Linda is still beautiful in her seventies. It's sad that she can't sing anymore. But her tiny voice is still powerful.
I’m so sorry that this beautiful soul must witness what has become of the place where she was raised. I am so grateful to her for the beautiful music. 🌺✌️
She sang it and we listened and we were better for it.
Amazing. At 76 years old, she's still beautiful, inside and out.

Bravo! Wonderful interview. This should be syndicated. She spoke about very important topics that everyone should hear.
Linda conveys as much sincerity in her words as she managed to convey in her songs. Emotions that only those who give themselves to what they believe in can transmit. The truth of someone who undresses in front of an audience that looks at a single person and seems not to believe what they see, but leaves happy with what they saw.

When I feel, in certain moments, that I am judged for being wholesome, the good girl instead of a "bad bitch", or too nice, I think of Linda.
She stood out in the rock world as a mega talented, deep, intelligent, and wholesome (but not prudish), beautiful, woman.
I could never compare to her but I aspire to have just a speck her beautiful soul.
I wish her well. It's a tough one for her.
I have some of her albums. Loved listening because of her voice, the tunes and how they was done on my ears. It was so great to lie back to be immersed; flooded in her songs.
It really warmed my heart to know that two of my favorite people were a couple once: Linda and Jerry Brown. It's so nice to know they are still close friends.
I never made it though my younger life without Linda , thank you
Thank you for this interview. Love the book. Linda is a very special songbird. A vibe and voice all her own. The best live pipes on the planet - transformational for tough guys. Sigh...
Thank you Nancy (miss working with you,) and thank you Linda for your grace, talent and life force. You are an inspiration.
Speak truth to power Linda..love you always✊
She still has those beautiful eyes. A brilliant voice and talent.
I was surprised as much as the interviewer was to learn that Linda Ronstadt had a Christmas album. I just listened to it and it is perfection--just like the rest of Linda's work.
Has my favorite Joni Mitchell song on it-"River."
What a great conversation, thank you so much. Linda is one of my favorite people 😊 how nice to hear more about her life and family history ❤
I love you Linda and I am glad you are taking about the Sonoran desert. I also live in Arizona and love the desert. Unfortunately they are scrapping it to build too many houses. Makes me sad.
I love Linda and very much Nancy Montoya! A wonderful interview between two beautiful people!
Always loved playing her Top 40 Hit 'Different Drum' in Seattle. Still have a fresh copy of the 45. Thanks for the music, Linda! And thank YOU Nancy for this insightful moment! John Ross.
Loved her. Highschool 1971, she was on the radio all the time. ❤️❤️❤️
The Saguaro cactus, birds and other animals there are so beautiful and magical. Such intelligence as well as being gifted that she has. We should respect nature, and others! My first introduction to great songwriters was through her, and love reading the stories of her childhood, riding ponies in the desert. We must not build fencing in wild lands. We must not murder anyone over a border that is not even real, and not even ours.
Linda has been my lifelong favorite singer. I played her music so, so many times, and I wanted to be this beautiful, talented, woman.
I had the good fortune of seeing her live, once.
What a great singer.
God Bless, Linda.
You are loved❤️
Love this book and Cd. I made my own DVD version with whatever I could find on UA-cam to match the CD. Some I had to use ones with photos and one with a montage from a movie using a song. I'm so glad I made myself try to get into the Festival of Books and though was in the back, was able to get in and hear the talk with Linda and Lawrence Downes. I had a Framed Lola Beltran album cover I brought and gave to Mr Downes hoping he could get it to Linda. The cover I acquired from PDQ records where I worked for years. Did not want to throw it away though no vinyl inside. Yay for this interview!
Like Linda's Mom, I am a Michigander! ☺
Linda is one of my all time favorite singers.
She is intelligent, poised, genuine.
This book is a must have for my library.
✨
Legend. Musical icon. Decent human.
adore Linda Ronstadt. bright and sweet. listened first to a song called A different drum with the stone Poneys and enjoyed listening to all of her albums. love this interview. speaks honestly and caringly and stands up for injustices.

Your contribution to music has been beautiful and cherished to those who deeply appreciate the sonic sounds of music. The upcoming generations who will organically discover you will connect immediately to what the spirit in your voice resonated all those years ago.
“Time” holds NO BOUNDS to the authenticity of the individual who sings from the “Heart”.

I love this woman. So intelligent and civil.. And she's right about natural migration!

I Love Linda.....such a Lovely Person & one of my inspirations for singing at a young age!!!
So glad to get to hear this interview. I need to hear these things to not feel so alone just in the world with all its craziness and to have more ideas of how to deal with all these things as life continues to be increasingly overwhelming in so many ways day by day. The simple yet comforting things she's letting us know about are important. Like the socks, and stuff like that. What small things can be done that help. This is a great interview. Thanks to both of you. 🌸🌊
Probably the best, and I mean best, pitch-perfect rock singer. And, of course, back then, every college-age male's visionary's girlfriend!
But the expansion into light opera, showed out her versatility. I was blessed to watch Linda performing in "Pirates of Penzance" on Broadway in NYC. Outstanding.
Linda ♥️when you the you..entered my Life. I took a big breath. 🎶 More than that. Thank you ☮️🌎my bucket list to meet you 🥲
Amazing talented singer and humanitarian. I love you Linda. Keep strong and carry on. Kia Kaha from New Zealand.
This interview was a few years ago.I wonder how Linda is now. ? She had such a great voice.
Love Her Always Have Always Will ❤️
wow, listening more, she is a throughly wonderful person who's heart is full for of social justice!
Love theSonoran desert! Miss it more than I can say! Will read her book!
That‘s exactly it Linda, you can’t save them all, but you can save a few. I live in Europe and we have the same issues with migration that the US has. Our migrants come from Africa, Syria, Afghanistan, Eastern Europe, etc. There have been discussions about a fence, which is unimaginable.
🙄. They’re called borders. All countries have them. Plus they’ve got…legal immigration.
Your performance on Johnny Carson with Aaron Neville 👏 has me in tears for over a week!!
Wow 👌
Gifted Angels 😇
Love you both
I grew up in the echoes of Different Drum. Linda was everywhere, along with Joan, Joni, Olvia, Donna and Barbra. How lucky am I?
Brilliant person. Linda is amazing for many reasons.
Love her and I wish the best for her❤
She was my first live concert, with Andrew Gold. Great lady.
She was the cutest and best singer around, still adorable
God bless you Linda
I was always a fan. I saw her twice in Washington DC when she did her big band and Mexican concerts. I was so thrilled when I found out was to appear at the Beacon Theatre, a few blocks from my apartment. It was my birthday so I splurged on a front row seat. She comes out, looks at the audience and says how great it is perform in the Upper West Side of Manhattan as it means there are no Republicans in the audience.

Such an intelligent lovely lady to listen to😊
Linda Ronstadt has a beautiful indigenous heart.
Thank you! 💓

Love you Linda! What a great interview! xoxo
Beautiful person you are Linda Ronstadt you have a caring soul bless you for being so kind the world needs more of Linda Ronstadt's .
My favorite singer
this was a great interview ...
What a beautiful, talented lady.
I ❤ Linda Ronstadt!!! 😍🥰
Linda seems better than a few years ago 😳
Seems
Yes, keto diet improves all kinds of conditions.
@suzie mills - She has been re-diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy. Perhaps her improvement reflects the change.
When was this interview done?
A remarkable lady, on all levels, wouldn't it be great to have an hour chat with her in person
Been thinking about you tonight, Linda. Hope you are doing well. You are a beautiful, talented.....just an amazing woman ❤
If for no other reason she is beloved for pronouncing Mr. Armstrong's name correctly.
He called himself Louis, not Looey.

I used to go see her sing at lil abners steakhouse in Tucson and play golf at Tucson national golf club. We dated for a while until I got a job in San Francisco. The rest is history ❤Michael
Is Lil Abner's still around or Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse in Trail Dust Town?
Lil abners steakhouse is still there. Just Google it! Enjoy
The comments condemning Linda for being a liberal, an atheist, or for looking so old are shockingly cruel and ignorant. Some people commented that she deserved to lose her voice, and that God took her voice away for a reason. I don’t believe in hell, but if I did, there’s a special place in hell for people who would say such extraordinarily cruel things about a beautiful artist who is living life with tremendous dignity while battling a dreadful terminal illness. She embodies such confidence, strength and compassion. If she read those awful comments she’d probably just laugh them off. I’m sure that dealing with stupid, mean and ignorant people is nothing new for her. She possesses a core of dignity and strength that you can never touch, no matter how much you try to tear her down. And picking on someone who is dying of Parkinson’s? Classy.
I think she looks pretty darn cute for a woman in her late 70's and with health problems. An amazing woman.
Beautiful woman inside and out!
Love her!!!
Very good and interesting interview!
I want to wave a magic wand and make her young again, if only I could, love you Linda.
Love Linda❤️👏🏻❣️
What a sweetheart. The exact opposite of what I've come to expect from Americans generally.
Please ask Linda about her and Pete eating at Lloyd's Mexican restaurant in Tucson at 6th and Park. I was proud to be her server.
I've got to get up-to-speed on Linda Rondstad's music. I've listened to a lot of Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, who came later. There's nothing like a great feminine voice. Moreover, I'm fortunate to live in Tucson and Southern Arizona, where the celebrated musician grew up.
I love you, Linda ❤
She's still an important voice for human rights
Beautiful talented Mexicana!
Feivel the mouse always reminds me of you Linda, your cadence is so beautiful.
Looking forward to reading Feels Like Home
Wow, so old now. Emphasizes to me that I too am old, even though I often don’t think so. I picture her as still being young.
@hebneh - We are young inside.
Does anyone know the name of the book that is being discussed??
This interview is current because the release of her new book came out last October 22
She lost a lot of weight. I hope she is well. ( relatively speaking that is )
Lindas Christmas album is two fold.She has some popular Christmas songs and then some very old English traditional ones.She says its not very good but she's modest.
