Writing love letters takes courage, but it’s a little gutsier to write and perform songs about the object of your affection. Steve Nelson and Jocelyn Gonzales have their own personal takes on rock and roll’s long love affair with that one special girl.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom.
