During my commutes back and forth to my retreat this weekend (I still chuckle at calling my trainings "retreats" -- we don't retreat very far, do we), I was listening to Eric Clapton's excellent From the Cradle, his paen to the blues greats. These blues are so low-down that you get road rash on your belly just hearing them.
Juxtaposed against the Psalm laments -- they were the perfect soundtrack. Serendipity!
I've got that CD right beside the computer. I think I'll pop it in now.
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, I love that CD. My FAVORITE Clapton album? Perhaps.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, that's one of my favorites.

Road rash, indeed. I've been listening to that CD in my woodshop for the past few weeks, and it just gets better with every play.
