The spate of South of the Mason-Dixon Line ditties above jarred loose a memory. A bitterly beautiful song about a woman with a blue dress whom we know only as baby.
Down the Rio Grande - Tom Russell.

Bonnie Raitt sings John Prine:

 

[Robin L]

"Last December 13th, there appeared in the newspapers the juiciest, spiciest, raciest obituary that has ever been my pleasure to read. it was that of a lady name Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel who had in her lifetime, managed to acquire as lovers practically all of the top creative men in Central Europe, and, among these lovers, who were listed in the obituary, by the way, which was what made it so Interesting, there were three whom she went so far as to marry. . .

almost tempted to follow @Ron Party's post above with Aerosmith's Dude Looks Like a Lady.


But I shan't.
Lola is, in fact, one of may favorite-est rock & roll songs... so I'll, instead, share a dandy cover version of it -- from Lake Street Dive (and their fine female bassist, Bridget Kearney, whom I first knew from an obscure band called Joy Kills Sorrow).

 

[shuppatsu]

An apt description of one particular woman I knew ......

This cuts deeply into my heart to this day. The greatest love in my life. I was the biggest idiot I ever was, and this song reminds me. I remember the day I played this, very loud, and she was walking down the stairs in our house and I felt it. I felt love and loss in the same moment.

YOLANDA

Lola is a nickname for Yolanda. The esteemed pianist Charlie Palmieri (1927-1988) released the plaintive song "La Hija de Lola" in 1973. Questioning … "What has happened people to the daughter of Lola, That now she does not go out and is always sad and alone, Already the neighbors are whispering … She who was the joy of the neighborhood ….'

… Lucinda…

One of the nicknames for Lucinda is Lou. Here's an upbeat jazzy western swing song titled "Lyla Lou" who's "…so stunning honey from your head to your toes …."

This thread got me to thinkin' about Minnie. Not Mickey Mouse's squeeze... the other Minnie.
