Eva Cassidy was amazing... A young singer who died before achieving any kind of commercial success, but her voice had a quality that catches the listener and draws him in unlike few that I have ever heard. She's a perfect choice for this cool fall morning.
Yes, an amazing voice and a unique style, makes you feel as if you are hearing an old standard for the very first time. I just discovered her in the past year; so tragic that she died way too young.
Thank you, Russ, for introducing me to this beautiful voice. I'm busily copying everything I can find on YouTube, and will be searching for any albums I can find on cdbaby.com - incredible. Only too sad that there will be no more from this hugely talented woman.
Glad I could turn you on to her, go look up her version of "Over the Rainbow" too - you'll be amazed. If anyone deserved to win fame and fortune from her talent, it was Eva - a fantastic interpreter. But the deserving don't always get what they deserve.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.

My Story
click photograph to read
Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?
It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.

P.S. - her rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water... OMG!
