Musical moments Finally found the words to Blind Willie Johnson's "Leave it There" (actually written in 1916 by Charles A. Tindley), played it most happily on the National. Decision: to leave any spiritual songs I sing in the original context. I may be a Buddhist, but Blind Willie Johnson wasn't, and while I recognize the spiritual energy as the same in both of us I feel I owe it to him to sing it the way he wanted it sung.

And discovering what an amazing song "Absolutely Five Believers" is...never listened to the words. So many great blues out there.
