Music list


	Like a Star by Corinne Bailey Rae This British R& B singer is smooth like silk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e19eZJX8QHY

	Paranoid Android by Radiohead This is a shining example of the musical innovation of a band whose technical and emotional experiments frequently surprise me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDAdMHTxa1E

	My Glorious by Delirious? Delirious is a British rock worship band with tremendous energy, emotion and musical creativity. When I sing My Glorious, sometimes my feet almost lift off the floor! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI9P3IONLFA

	Boondocks by Little Big Town Little Big Town approaches Country/Bluegrass with rich harmonies and impeccable musicianship. They are sometimes reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac. Each song on this album is brilliantly crafted. Great video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjiztRia0lA

	Now That I've Found You by Alison Krauss Alison Krauss & Union Station are my favorite Bluegrass group. Now That I've Found You, a slow, soulful remake of the 60's Motown song, melts my heart. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIKmfexKJY0

	Here in America by Rich Mullins Rich mullins was a brillian songwriter who reached into my soul like few ever have. He died in 1997; I miss him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCUfIT5Lm3g

New York looks beautiful. I would love for me and the kids to visit one day. How about next week?

I especially like the quote: "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Gil Bailie

Who is "Gil Bailie"? I guess he/she has been to NY!
