Got to Find My Joy
Here's one of those singers that would have me down in front of the stage with my head down and arms pumping in the air, perhaps even singing loudly along with her because she's singing MY song! Bettye Lavette puts her stamp on "Joy" like she wrote it, but actually Lucinda Williams penned this tune. Lucinda's version is country with a little blues mixed in, while Lavette's version is ALL Blues.
Every time I hear Bettye sing "Joy," I can't help but move, lift my hands in the air and sing right along with her because I know where she's coming from. Sing Bettye!

Antonina's Story
This is more than an amazing story. This lady has been through some sad and rough times, but you will see by the end of her story that God can make a way when there seems there is no possible way. Thank you sister Camille for bringing this to my attention. I think Antonina's testimonry will speak to somebody out there, uplift them, and give them hope. I know it had that effect on me!

The Art of Rap
I'm watching "The Art of Rap: Something from Nothing", directed by Ice-T, on Netflix. They took the only thing in the "crib" that was making music and turned it into an instrument, because that's all they had. Now you know that's deep.
