Queen Aretha

In honor of the Queen of Soul, I am submitting a mere sample of her work today. She was truly multi-talented in music and this will only convey a portion of it. Always with God in mind she led the way to a level in her preferred genre which was soul music and always bested her previous work. A biopic on her will follow this soon. Ya'll come back now...ya hear?

A Poignant Moment...

Best to let this speak- and sing- for itself...

The Castle Lady

Happy Birthday ! !

to my idol Barbra

I won't say how many decades, since it's obviously

irrelevant. Just know that you are amazing, dear!

One of your biggest fans!

It's Record Store Day !

Do you remember my entry on records (that play on phonograph players) stating that they were making a comeback? This phenomenon is real and I can say that I am a happy owner of hundreds of them in just about every music genre there is or ever was for that matter! This would be a great time for you to check out what's available where you live in the way of record stores still being open. Please make an effort to show support for these mavens of the music business. Without them the world would've gone silent years ago and we don't want that do we?
     Tell 'em The Castle Lady told you to, okay ?

Easter Song, anyone?

It is now !

Need Your Joy Back ?

A recent animated show on T.V. and my own need to get out of a winter funk led to my thinking of this song today. Enjoy, and remember...If you have your joy you can continue no matter what is going on in your life.

Becoming Martin Luther King Jr.

In the Talmud, that ancient Hebrew book, it says that ‘a dream

that is not understood

is like a letter not opened.’

Today it is time to open that letter we put off reading…

it is the letter of hope

and love in all its forms.

-Evelyn M.Wallace

Fifty years ago I remember hearing and seeing this speech on T.V.

It moves me as much now as it did then.  

When I think of Martin Luther King Jr. I feel love in my heart

which no one can take away.

No one can kill love.

Hatred you can burn to the ground

with a cool glass of water.

- Evelyn M. Wallace
