Let me apologize to Ron & Art for attributing Ron's quote of Satchel Paige's motto - don't look back, the past might be gaining on you! to Ron.

And sorry about that sentence...I tried to make it clearer but it's early/late so that's the best I could do.

Art, thanks for recommending that CD to me and to others, in the process, I'm sure. I'm definitely interested in purchasing it.

Since there are lots of "authentic spirituals, shout songs from the Sea Islands, prison ballads and rare secular folk songs" from African American traditions that I don't know, I'm not surprised to find out that I don't know all the songs on that CD. But I am surprised to learn that I don't know most of the songs listed.

I'm excited about hearing this CD. It "sounds" like it will sound wonderful and the community efforts that a portion of the sales price supports are definitely worthwhile.

After I listen to this CD, I'll post a comment on this thread about it. And, hopefully, others will too.
