JIMMY CARTER
TURNS 100 YEARS OLD TODAY
Mastodon Post

"It’s Tuesday, October 1st, and Jimmy Carter turns 100 years old today. He went into hospice care in February 2023, and when Rosalynn died last November I figured he’d follow. But he’s said he has reasons to hold on, and hold on he has."

"His stated reason for continuing to live is that two weeks from today, he can cast a mail-in ballot for Harris. I sure hope he makes it."

-- Peter Mulvey, Among Our Best Singer-Songwriters

From 39 to 47

SARA HALLIE RICHARDSON
"BLACKBIRD"

The Beatles 1968​/​Portland Maine 2018
by The Maine Embassy

https://themaineembassy.bandcamp.com/album/the-beatles-1968-portland-maine-2018

You can listen to "Blackbird" by Sara Hallie Richardson, Track 11 here. Evidently, though, the Maine Embassy will not allow people to purchase individual tracks. I will never understand artists and labels devising ways NOT to sell music. Be that as it may, this collection has enough fantastic tracks to make buying the whole album well worth the price.

Sara Hallie Richardson's recording is one of my favorite "Blackbird" interpretations and it is among the best cuts in this collection.

If you like tracks here, you owe it to yourself to track down "Don't Pass Me By" by Darien Brahms, which is on "Greetings From Area Code 207 Vol. 5" (CD, Cornmeal Records, 2004).

Singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey is quite particular in saying that he does not do covers: - he does interpretations. I follow his lead in making this distinction.
