    "She's with ME" - Jerry Riopelle 
    3 words.  That was it.  
    It was 1977.  She was 17, a Riopelle superfan, aspiring  writer/educator,  future published poet AND professor.
    I'm talking about none other than Jerry Riopelle assistant and family friend, BECKY BYRKIT!

    We'll hear about the impact those 3 simple words had on this teenaged Flagstaff girl, and how this creative, hilarious and endearingly absurd human discovered the world of words and music appreciation, which ultimately led her to the land of poetry and friendship with Jerry Riopelle and family.

    As always, some wonderful talk and Riopelle tunes/stories for your pleasure!

    Paul R
