It’s gonna be a s-l-o-w day ’round here. My energy’s low today…sleep’s off so I’m giving myself a “pajama day”. I picked up a bunch of new music last week including Queen Latifah’s latest offering, “Travelin’ Light”…her second jazz CD. I picked up her first one a couple of years back and was impressed so when the new CD dropped, I snapped up a copy. Without having heard any of the songs. Brave, huh?

Imagine my surprise when the first song I heard was “Poetry Man”. I’ve loved that song from the first time I heard it…the Phoebe Snow rendition. (Love Phoebe Snow too! “Harpo’s Blues”? “Touch Your Soul”? The theme from “Different World”? LOL) I remember hearing a friend of a friend sing “The Poetry Man” years ago. Brought tears to my eyes. It has a deeper meaning for me these days. I still love it though. All hail the Queen!

Enjoy the listen.

I tried to link to Phoebe Snow’s “Touch Your Soul” which I’ve been listening to on repeat all morning. No go. Sorry.

*SIGH*

Ain’t nuffin gon’ git done ‘round here today. Nuffin.
