I'm not a grandmother, but the line "I got a little time left on this earth, gonna use it well" makes me think how I can use my time left well.

Thank you.

Why don't you feature "Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportee) by Woody Guthrie? Arlo Guthrie does a great version. It's about a plane wreck that killed dozens of unregistered Mexicans being deported. There names were never released, they were just called Deportees. Seems appropriate in these times of ICE raids and mass deportations without trial.

Thanks for the suggestion, Tom. It’s an excellent song. Sad that it is still true 77 years later.
