I’ll send you some pictures of people eating my peach cobblers. You can pretend-like (ten-like, my kids used to say) eat it. So there.

Just like in music, it’s the unplayed notes that define the song as much as the played ones. Discernment is a lost art. Keep it going…

I just realized you have a seinfeld blog.

I view it as “public journaling”. I like to look back and read stuff from 4 years ago that would have been lost as sand through the hour glass.

And for exploring ideas. Throw something out there and see where it takes ya.

I am curious where those notions come from. Certainly not from eating chickpeas.

BTW - Nice new look.

Beautifully done. Tragic story and interesting how she became famous after her death.

I remember giving you that CD to listen to about six years ago. I’m glad you like Eva Cassidy’s version as much as I do. Now you need to record and send me Henry’s.

Wow.

From Wikipedia:

In her final public performance in September 1996, at the Bayou, she closed the set with “What a Wonderful World” in front of an audience of friends, fans and family. She was subsequently admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Before Christmas of 2000, Top Of The Pops 2 aired a video of Cassidy performing “Over the Rainbow”, which resulted in Songbird climbing steadily up the UK charts over the next few weeks. Just as ITV’s Tonight with Trevor McDonald aired a feature on Cassidy, the album topped the chart. Shot at Blues Alley by a friend with a camcorder the same night the album was recorded, the black-and-white video became the most requested video ever shown on Top Of The Pops 2. “There’s an undeniable emotional appeal in hearing an artist who you know died in obscurity singing a song about hope and a mystical world beyond everyday life”, wrote The Guardian.

Commenting on whether Cassidy’s early death played a part in her popularity, Sherri Dalphonse of Washingtonian.com writes, “No doubt her life story is part of it. But articles about her haven’t boosted sales as much as when her songs are played on the BBC or NPR. Hearing about Eva Cassidy isn’t as powerful as hearing her.”
