   I expect Frank's legacy is a significant responsibility for her.   
      
   A thing to compare it to was perhaps Miss Audrey's behavior as the   
   holder of Hank Williams' legacy - it sort of drove Hank Williams Junior   
   up the wall pretty far.   
      
   ( Oh yes - Junior had a run of albums in the 1980s I'd put up against   
   anything else. And III does excellent work even today. )
