Nothing — I really think it’s true — makes me happier than a rich, full, big-soul sound on a track. But I’ll get giddy about that another time. So I went spelunking through YouTube for a performance of this song I think you should hear. It’s “From My Heart to Yours” by Laura Izibor. And [...]

celebrate. This is the last day of April. That means the last 10 words you just read qualify me for having posted an entry every day for 30 days! Take that, NaBloPoMo! You: Would you like to try that again? That’s more like it. Let me be honest for a minute: it sucked. It required [...]

… a long time coming.¹ Disney finally has its first black princess. Her name is Tiana. I’ve seen all of her predecessors’ stories. We’ve had Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel and Belle.
