What great fun to hear the Song of Job again. I thought it was the best track on the album. Turns out, I've been thinking about Job lately. I've been trying to get my software working right to copy music from cassettes to CDs. I've done it without any problem for many years, but I have a new computer and new software, and for some reason it isn't working. So far I haven't been able to figure out why. I'm not discouraged. All in due time. I wrote a commentary on When Things Don't Work on my blog. Here's the paragraph that refers to Job:

Maybe I'm being tested, like Job. Maybe this is all about obedience. That's an answer you have to be careful using. Job was a special case. God and the Devil had a wager going with God betting that Job would remain faithful no matter how many calamities were visited upon him. Sometimes we are tested, I'm sure. If I've been trying to make something work for a long time, maybe it's time to consider another possibility.

One of my other favorite three letter words besides Job is "yet." I haven't figured it out yet.

Thanks for posting the song. Whatever happened to Seatrain, I wonder.
