Yesterday, in preparing for my own private commemoration, I remembered that almost exactly a year ago, just two days after she died, I recorded the narration for a memorial episode in her honor that at the time I never published. Listening to the raw material for that episode, I realized that today would be the perfect time to publish that episode. I assumed that I would be so choked up with grief that I would not even be able to organize my thoughts, but I think I did a pretty good job of commemorating her in a way that only I could. As I remark, though my mother and I had a sometimes conflicted relationship because of her religious beliefs and conservative politics, we also shared the preternatural bond that mothers sometimes share with their children when they perceive the presence of a kindred spirit. For in spite of all the mutual head-butting in which we partook over the years, we <em>were<\/em> kindred spirits. And we both had to work extremely hard to keep those channels of love and respect open when, according to all our opposing vantage points, we should have been in enmity. This episode was wrung out of me just as the wave of my grief was cresting, but it\u2019s so much better for that. I supplement my anecdotes and memories with a lot of music, from many different performers: everyone and everything from Bach to Johnnie Ray to \u201cI Am Jesus\u2019 Little Lamb\u201d to Joan Baez to Mabel Mercer to Tom Lehrer to \u201cDanny Boy\u201d to the Brahms <em>Deutsches Requiem<\/em> and back again. I\u2019m not sure that, after a year as an orphan (what the Germans would call a <em>Vollwaise<\/em>, , I would have the perspective to delve into my memories in the same way. Please give this episode a listen; maybe it will help you put certain things in perspective as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Jane-Raving-Beauty-678x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Jane-Raving-Beauty-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Jane-Raving-Beauty-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Jane-Raving-Beauty.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gottfried Heinrich St\u00f6lzel [formerly attributed Johann Sebastian Bach as BWV 508]: Bist du bei mir.
