...chips have been around for nearly three decades, but 1997 was the year Grove's life's work reached full flower. It was the year cell phones, Websites and E-mail became ubiquitous, the year the global economy, for good and ill, became an undeniable reality. Intel chips hum at the center of everything from coffee machines to Hollywood's special effects to Wall Street's trading desks...

That was a ho-hum: the Nashville scribe has penned prime bedroom and barroom laments for Reba McEntire (Last One to Know), Trisha Yearwood (XXX's and OOO's), Martina McBride (Wild Angels), Patty Loveless (You Can Feel Bad) and other country thrushes. But that same night, Berg sang Back When We Were Beautiful, about a widow recalling her one and only love, and put so much ache and age into it you could hear...
