This morning I spent some time with some friends, old and new, via YouTube…
First it was my buddy, Fred First‘s Slideshow presentation of the images in his second book as I sipped my first cup of coffee…It went like this…
What We Hold in Our Hands: images from the book
I had been privileged to see this before when Fred was working on it…But today it was a perfect start to a contemplative Sunday Morning.
Next up I came upon a TED presentation given by Natalie Merchant…To say I was blown away is an understatement…Take the time and watch…listen…live this presentation.
Natalie Merchant sings old poems to life
Now that my coffee cup has grown cold with snippets of Natalie Merchant’s music playing in the background I guess it’s time to put the post to bed and get on with my morning…Enjoy what looks to be a gorgeous spring day and I’ll catch ya’ll later…
Wow — I must have been living under a rock (or in a Longleaf forest!) to have missed Natalie Merchant all these years. Thanks, Gary. What a voice — and I love her renditions of the old poems.
It’s funny, her name rang a bell but her bands didn’t mean anything to me. Then again the ’80’s…at least musically, were a dead decade for me…
