   Hey, Chris! Two posts on consecutive days. Good to see you back, even if only temporarily. Hope you’re doing OK.

      Beautiful. I love this rendition of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Eva Cassidy. I’ve heard her described (lovingly) as the “blackist white gospel singer” ever.

   Wonderful selections, Chris. I would like to add a link in tribute to Martin Luther King, whose too short life ended by assassination fifty years ago, continues to inspire those who care about equality and compassion.
