"My Marie": this one has been oozing into my consciousness as a Gene Love-Classic, although the 'Marie' is perhaps but a stranger seen in the 'underground' ie subway?

I adore 'My Marie.' One of Gene's finest love songs. Co-written with Pat Robinson, who told me when I interviewed him that "Marie" was based on a real person, or at least a composite of a real person.
The whole song unfolds like a film. A late-period masterpiece from Gene.
The Mountain Stage version is the definitive one, I think. So far, anyway...

This year I'm going to write on that one and 'Your Fire Burning,'
one of Gene's other late-period gems.
