      Sadly this is some kind of reflection of our world. Commerce and art don’t seem to fit very well. This music is art and peace rolled into one, minus the commerce, or maybe only slightly affected by commerce.

      June 2019 hearing him for the first time. What a treat, what a wonderful gift he had and gave freely. This came out i believe in 1967, I was 12 and would sit on the dock with my bare feet in the
      water and sing along with the transistor radio. There sure wasn't any tide, just little ripples from a motorboat way out that would eventually make their way to shore. People who grow up on lakes have a great affinity for it, and for the wooden docks where you'd park yourself for many hours, summer after summer. All those years.

      I love the original by Otis Redding, especially knowing that this was his last recording just 3 days before he passed away in a plane crash.
      But, I particularly tend to come to this wonderful and beautifully put together rendition by these talented artists from around the globe so many times for many years now while relaxing on the patio deck at night, cooking barbecue having a few, or just in bed watching some UA-cam like I'm doing now before getting ready for work.
      I'd like to send you a couple more lovely feel good songs of "good music, from good people."
      Hope you enjoy, and have a nice and safe weekend!
