:: Godspeed, President Barack
What an amazing day it was! President Barack was radiant, a smile so genuine and deep it could not be contained, spilling out, tickling everyone's tears of joy and amazement back to the corridors of history past. Today was a day for Big Things, Profound Things. To those of us who remember water fountains labeled "Black" and "White", of rage spilling red on streets, of darkened hearts and poison words, this day is Big.

And so was Aretha's hat! Oh, I loved it! It captures the utter joy of the day. Tomorrow's tomorrows will be enough time to reorder jubilation into narrow channels of opinion. Today, I'll enjoy The Hat.

:: Happy Birthday, Sputnik!

[Listen to a wav file of Sputnik's first transmission signal]


That is, the original Sputnik! I particularly enjoyed this article from Yahoo as it is full of anecdotes from the original scientists and includes a lengthy slide-show of the celebration events this year

:: He is Risen!
He is Risen, Indeed!

Oscar Peterson Trio, performance



from the notes: "If the passion and resurrection seem surprising as topics for a longer jazz work, Oscar Peterson with his "Easter Suite" appears in a long line of other jazz greats, who at least in their later works created religiously inspired works."

:: Let the Viel Down
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit."
Luke 23:44-46
Let the Viel Down

:: The Passion
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all


Words and music: Paul Baloche and Lenny Leblanc
Michael W. Smith, performance
