Nice Here & Now segment on the upcoming Sacred Harp book revision launching in September. We got into Shape Note singing right as the 1991 revision came out and it was a life changer. Thrilled we’ll be attending the singing in Atlanta. #shapenote #sacredharp www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

We finally saw Sinners today and were the only people in the theatre who stayed for the final post-credit scene (after the earlier mid-credit scene).

Trump's attack on Canada is not about fentanyl or the border. It is an attack on our nationhood.
But here's the thing: Trump is America's biggest disadvantage because he divides.
But he is unifying our nation like never before.
