What wonderful performances ! I remember what a powerful voice Mahalia Jackson had.

Her duet with Dinah Shore is priceless, but my favorite is Grandpa Elliot and voices from around the world. Preservation Hall jazz band is the best. I’ve been to New Orleans several times and the music and food is unlike anywhere else. Thanks for

taking the time to send it.

O those GODs! those Good Old Days! there really were some really good things back then - just as there are in these times. Singing' and Laughing' are two of my favorites. So, I sat here on this grey day, 3-1-22 in Storrs CT and sang and laughed... L&B&L

I'm revisiting this today to share a smile for a Sunday :) I've been receiving an email a day from "28 Days of Black History" . Today I read about Jim "Mudcat" Grant, an All-American baseball player with the Twins and there was a link to a YouTube video. It was fun watching him hit a 3-run homer in the 6th World Series game in 1965! But what I enjoyed even more was his beautiful rendition of "What a Wonderful World" in honor of Harmon Killebrew in 2011. It's also touching to watch the people in the stands, and ... well just watch: https://youtu.be/vu8iu4xTDMU

This is a really engaging performance with lead-off by Grandpa Elliott. Thank you to all the musicians and to you/your team for the link to this and the other musical videos of 'Down by the Riverside'. It did make me smile today.
