I like Dido. That was one of my favorites for a while.

Me too. I don't listen to secular music hardly ever, when I do, I sometimes pick one or two of hers.

Much love!

I do like your Barney Fife in the background avatar. Helps me to remember who you are. You are most certainly not our old friend Stranger. Newer people will not remember him.

I don't know much about Ms. Krauss, but I remember she did Down to the River to Pray for the movie O Brother, where art thou? She has a lovely voice.

I used to think this was Grand Funk Railroad.

Wow, I never made that connection.
