Lili Haydn, Place Between Places.
This lady is amazing.
Look her up or something, to get the full scoop, but let me say that I recommend no other violinist more highly.
Honestly, I like her instrumentals more than the vocal tracks, but she is, in a word (hyphenated), "multi-talented."
Her version of "Maggot Brain" on this album rivals the original, & I had never thought I'd hear or say that.
I noticed a strange thing the other day, too, as my CD of the day sat near the book I'm gonna read next:
I mean, they ain't twins, but there is a certain resemblance that one cannot deny.
Oh, & I highly recommend Mary Karr's "trilogy" of memoirs, The Liar's Club, Cherry, & Lit. It's rough stuff--as memoirs often are--but we get that human victory in the end. We're in this together, & we can win this big ol'
game, no matter what they throw at us.
Juniors:
Swift: "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own."
Wow, this one worked.
I thank you for your responses, & I hope you see the way in which Swift managed to get into our "nature" as "humans."
Sophomores:
"The Leap," by Louise Erdrich
A big jump, in more ways than one.
Figurative & literal.
13 questions.
Words:
"I owe my existence, the second time then, to the two of them and the hospital that brought them together. That is the debt we take for granted since none of us asks for life. It is only once we have it that we hang on so dearly."
Please hang on.
&
Think, please.
& be cool
