A few days ago, @rochester-born asked me who I thought could play Lorna to a t other than Emma Dumont. At the time, my answer was pretty simple: someone unknown out there, dependent on which version of Lorna is being presented.

This morning, I found my Lorna: Bishop Briggs.

I learned of her the exact same way I learned of Lorna: randomly. By pure chance. Pure luck. A TV I was near just happened to be on Kelly & Ryan this morning at the exact moment Briggs was performing, and the instant I saw her, I thought “Lorna.”

Everything I’ve seen since just reaffirms that feeling for me. Her songs have both heart and fire. So, so many of the pictures I’ve found of her have her either wearing green or accompanied by green lighting.

Discovering Polaris was the last time I had this type of strong, enlivening sensation.

Obviously, she’s not an actress. But she has the sort of spirit that I feel fits Lorna perfectly. And I can’t shake the feeling that I found out about her exactly when I needed to find out about her, just like when I found out about Lorna.

Admittedly, not all of Bishop Briggs’ songs that I’ve heard are “my thing,” but there’s never been a music artist whose songs I love all of.

This concludes my post. 💚
