Today on the 600th episode of Too Opinionated, Laura Pursell (Daughter of the legendary composer and songwriter, Bill Pursell) chats about the recent Mothers Day tribute and Pre-Father's Day concert honoring her mother and father.

Appearing on the Hollywood stage of the Hard Rock Cafe, Laura Pursell, was backed by her LA band and string section, performing selections from "Lost In Time." Opening for her was Jason Coleman, renowned pianist and grandson of Nashville legend Floyd Kramer. ABOUT Lost In Time: Bill Pursell and daughter Laura started this album in 2019 as a tribute to wife and mother Julie, who spent her final years battling vascular dementia. Bill wrote the music and lyrics to the title track,"Lost in Time", a haunting ode to her lonely journey. Three tracks were recorded in Nashville before the pandemic shut production down. Bill continued writing arrangements. But midway through the recording, Bill tragically died from Covid. Honoring her promise to her father, Laura finished the album and it became a tribute to both of her parents. Nashville legend Bill Pursell, 2-time Grammy nominee, was one of the A-Team Music Row musicians back in the 60s who helped create "The Nashville Sound", recording with Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins, Chet Atkins, and more. He had a hit record in 1963, "Our Winter Love". He went back to school at Eastman and earned his doctorate at the age of 70. Julie Pursell was an accomplished writer, a front page reporter for the Tennessean, then the Art Editor for "The Nashville Banner". A story she wrote about welfare in the 60s earned a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize. Though Bill had the fame, he always said that his wife had the brains. Julie was at the height of her creative powers when, at the age of 73, she suffered a series of strokes which began a slow and painful road toward vascular dementia, which evolved into Alzheimer's. This terrible disease robbed her of her charismatic free spirit, her insatiable curiosity, her dignity, and ultimately her will to fight. The family stood helplessly by as they watched her disintegrate physically and mentally, piece by piece. Laura says, "I am doing this show in honor of my father, whom I was blessed to perform with for 22 years, and to the memory of the mother I knew, before dementia and Alzheimer's took her away from us."
