Ripped Raw

Last night BFF and I went to a local jazz club to hear Bettye LaVette. Every ache and yearning in her 65-year-old mind and body comes through the strongest and most raw voice you can imagine. It had me gulping back what she had touched inside, wiping the tears away after every song. One of life’s crowning glories is our ability to be moved far beyond our present circumstances by music.
