There exists an understandable, but mistaken, belief that Laura at her live concert Season of Lights alluded to “Timer as being about a cat.” The exact comment implied that after Laura performed “The cat song” she introduced “Timer” as “another song about a cat.” I dusted off the vinyl. Indeed, Laura did introduce a song as “here’s a song about another cat,” but the song was “When I was a freeport, (& you were the main drag)” and not “Timer.”

Michele Kort claims the lyrics in “The Confession” “love my love thing, super ride inside my lovething” were a “postcoital exuberance.” I suggest that the lyrics in “Emmie” “oo who stole Mama's heart and cuddled in her garden? darlin' Emmie” were Laura's own love's vanity for a much younger woman, Maria Desiderio?

If you haven't checked some of the later work out by now, Smile and Nested are well worth tracking down — and it can be hard to track them down.

I wish I'd ever had the chance to see her live. My wife got to see her live at least a couple times, and can be heard in the audience cheering on the Bottom Line recording.
