What a wonderful evening I had last night!\u00a0 Out to dinner with friends then a Sweet Honey in the Rock <\/a>concert at the Attucks Theater<\/a> in Norfolk, Virginia.\u00a0 I was swept away by their beautiful acapella singing.\u00a0 Just amazing music, but what struck me the most was how much fun they were having.\u00a0 At one point, one of them closed her eyes and just sang, and when she opened them, she seemed a little surprised that there was an audience watching.\u00a0 I came home and downloaded their new CD from iTunes.\u00a0 And, one of my friends is going to Ysaye Barnwell’s Building a Vocal Community<\/a> at the Omega Institute this summer and encouraged me to go.\u00a0 Hmmm…it’s a possibility although I am trying to save money for England.<\/p>\n

Hey…it’s Robert Frost’s birthday!\u00a0 I always use him as an example of fair use; how I would be listening to the Writer’s Almanac <\/a>on my way to school and discover that it was Robert Frost’s birthday and wanted to read a poem so it was OK to make a copy for my classes.\u00a0 Well, I didn’t know what a depressing life he led.\u00a0 I have been to visit his gravesite.\u00a0 Today, Keillor is reading “Neither Out Far Nor In Deep.”<\/p>\n

I read my email before blogging and ended up at Civil Discourse to read about Jeremiah Wright.\u00a0 The post<\/a> quotes the Wikipedia entry on Wright and takes the time to present the full sermons from which the ugly soundbites were pulled. \u00a0 And then I followed a few links.\u00a0 Here’s Andrew Sullivan at the Atlantic<\/a> who also provides context for the sermon.\u00a0 That led me to Think on These Things<\/a>, an Obama-leaning political blog.\u00a0 I get it…I’m only listening\/reading the people who agree with me, but they are also the ones who are providing the information not being covered in the media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
