I saw Cry Cry Cry tonight and felt a lot of feelings. I had heard they were doing this song on this tour, so I knew I had to try and get it if I could.

I saw Cry Cry Cry tonight and felt a lot of feelings. I had heard they were doing this song on this tour, so I knew I had to try and get it if I could.
it's the middle of the night near the Indiana line I'm pulling in a Christian station the signal is crystal clear, but I cannot really hear what he says about the Revelation I am wretched, I am tired - but the preacher is on fire and I wish I could believe... whoever watches over all these truckers show a little mercy for a weary sinner and deliver me, Lord, deliver me deliver me to the next Best Western did He who made the lamb put the tremble in the hand that reaches out to take my quarter? I look him in the eye, but there isn't any time just time enough to pass the tender the highway takes its toll, the green light flashes Go and it's Welcome to Ohio... whoever watches over all these truckers show a little mercy for a weary sinner and deliver me, Lord, deliver me deliver me to the next Best Western
And I turn and look beside me And you're sleeping like a baby And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying And the way you look tonight Fast asleep in the dashboard light Well I can't speak--that's how I feel
All the nights that joy has slept Will awake to days of laughter Gone the tears that you have wept You'll dance in freedom ever after
Cry Cry Cry - By Way of Sorrow
“We are planets in a heartless gravity
I never chose to make a choice
It felt like someone else's voice
Saying all those crazy things down on one knee
Cassandra never cast a shadow now it's heading to the shore
Oh the face that launched a thousand ships is sailing one more”
Folk Singer Mary McCaslin Dies at 75
Folk singer Mary McCaslin died Oct. 2, five years after being diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy, her husband said.
McCaslin was 75.
“We greatly appreciate all the well wishes and prayers from old friends and new throughout the world,” Greg Arrufat said on social media. “Many consider her a national treasure … thanks again to everyone for keeping her music alive and in your hearts.”
Lucy Kaplansky was 17 when she first saw McCaslin perform and “had never heard anyone sing that way.” That gig has stuck with her since 1977.
“I imitated her style and there is no question in my mind that part of the way I sing today is due to Mary's influence,” she wrote on Facebook. “RIP.”
McCaslin released 10 LPs during her recording career and her concert recordings from the Cherry Tree in Philadelphia are in the Library of Congress.
“Her beautiful music completely caught the essence of the prairie, the Great Plains,” George Winston wrote on Facebook. “And she was a wonderful interpreter on other composers’ songs and traditional songs.”

HAPPY PI DAY!!
The text written into the π are: “that’s just what a circle doesn’t have, a beginning or an end”
These words are part of the chorus from the song “A Song about Pi” by Irving “Kap” Kaplansky. I first heard the song sung by his daughter, Lucy Kaplansky. Please go give it a listen because it is adorable. The chorus of the song is:
3 1 41 Oh (5) my (9), here's (2) a (6) song (5) to (3) sing (5) about (8,9) pi (7). Not a sigma or mu but a well-known Greek letter too. You can have your alphas and your great phi-bates, and omegas for a friend, But that's just what a circle doesn't have—the beginning or an end. 3 1 4 1 5 9 is a ratio we don't define; Two pi times radii gives circumf'rence you can rely; If you square the radius times the pi, you will get the circle's space. Here's my song about pi, fit for a mathematician's embrace.

Folk music. I’ve always liked to listen to it but I am far from an aficionado. Part of my affinity rests in my childhood. Certainly I am not a child of the sixties, I was too young to claim that. But I do remember the music. I was drawn to a young Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and older artists like Woody Guthrie. It must have soaked into my soul.
I have season tickets to the Lied Center in Lawrence.…
