In Memory of Marcia B. Lyons

I'll be posting a more personal memorial to my Aunt Marcia later, but it seems appropriate to publish this here for now. (I'm supposed to head for the Cornstalk Festival in Ohio this weekend, where I'm booked to play two sets, I'm still figuring out the logistics of honoring a loved one with the obligation that the show must go on.)
