Vocal locals

Woke up this morning to find Lee Smith on the op-ed page of the New York Times writing about life in Hillsborough.

Spent a great afternoon at a CD launch for our favorite jazz band, Equinox, at the Community Church. The CD, "The Peace of Wild Things," takes its name from a poem by Wendell Berry. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Triangle Land Conservancy. That's one reason to buy it. Another is for a version of "God Bless the Child" that would make Billie Holiday sit up and take notice.
