MONONGAH PEOPLE RUN INTO EACH OTHER EVERYWHERE
KYLEE SIGLEY, JOHN OLESKY
Monongah man meets Monongah woman in Ohio restaurant
Dining
at Danny Boys in Tallmadge, Ohio and ran into a hostess from Monongah! Small
world!
Her
name is
Kylee Sigley. She was wearing a red
shirt that said “Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal.”
So I had my lady friend, Joan, take our
photo.
Her
sister is Rhiannon Vanmeter, a North Marion High graduate living in Monongah.
Rhiannon is the title of a song written by
Stevie Nicks and recorded by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac in 1975.
Full title of the song is “Rhiannon (Will
You Ever Win),” which Nicks labeled “a song about an old Welsh witch.”
Mick Fleetwood, drummer and band
co-founder, called Stevie Nicks’ treatment of Rhiannon “an exorcism.”
Nicks got the Rhiannon name from a Mary
Bartlet Leader novel, “Triad.” It’s about a woman named Branwen possessed by a
witch named Rhiannon.
Both Rhiannon and Branwen were female
characters in the medieval Welsh prose tales of the “Mabinogion.”
After writing the song Nicks learned that
Rhiannon originated from a Welsh goddess, not the Welsh Rhiannon.
Nicks’ song, “Angel,” also was based on the
Rhiannon story.
Fleetwood Mac’s band had Stevie Nicks as
lead vocalist, Lindsey Buckingham on guitar, John McVie on bass guitar and Mick
Fleetwood on drums.
“Rhiannon” was used in an episode of “The
Sopranos” when Christopher Moltisanti tells an anecdote to Jon Favreau.
