There's Always Something...

Mummers' Dance...

Cowtown Patti managed to unearth this extraordinary piece by Loreena McKennitt. Now she is one of my favorites.

Listen to this and think a bit...

There is a Crack in /everything - That's how the Light Gets In..."

How can I praise this enough?

Close to You...

My son Roger III posted this on his blog this morning. I was quite touched by this fine old song done by two fine old pros. All I can say is that Barbra's eyes are even better than her voice. I once sang a Karaoke duet, "Shall We Dance", from "The King and I" with my daughter-in-law, Jeanne, and she totally intimidated me with eyes just like that.

Look and see what I mean.

Beauty...

Here's one of my favorite hymns, beautifully done by a United Methodist girls' choir...

Last Night - Oh My!

Last night we watched Leonard Cohen's film, "I'm Your Man". I'd forgotten the earthy, gut-wrenching work he did back in the days of my highly modified hippy priesthood days. But he brought it back. Here's two versions of a record I once owned and loved of his _ "Suzanne".

It just may get to you as well. Sensuous. Earthy.

A Sentimental Old Fool - Me...

Call me that, if you will. And, of course, You would be right. I listen with quiet, sentimental attention to The Sound of Music's lovely "Edelweiss" with The Caption, Maria,The children. It gets to me every time.

Since 1950, This Mass Keeps Breaking Into My Life...

and i hope it ever shall.

You've Got a Friend - James Taylor Tribute

Oh, yes...

Tears To My Eyes...

Lee Bennion sent me this. To say it was a huge surprise is to put it mildly. Brought tears to these weary eyes. And hope to my heart. There is a wonderful lesson here.

Listen. Watch.
