Mary Chapin Carpenter - Personal History

MARY-CHAPIN CARPENTER / PERSONAL HISTORY - I started writing the songs on this album as the pandemic began winding down; the titular song "What Did You Miss" pointed the way forward, with it's final verse: "I've been writing it down/song by song/as a personal history" when imagining this collection of songs as memoir, and how the wisdom that comes with growing older becomes a north star, whether one is celebrating life's joys or navigating life's inevitable losses.
