Each year for Xmas, I make a soundtrack time capsule. This year's album: When The Levee Breaks.
It's my own personal Tipping Point! This year has been something else, and we could all use bit of a catharsis.
My little project is just for my family and best friends... something to stuff in their stocking. But this time, I realized that I could show you my soundtrack on iTunes, so you can listen to my album yourself. When you click on the link, it takes you to the playlist on iTunes, and they let you listen to a sample of each track.

A Change Is Gonna Come
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother, help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Yes it will
I don't know who took this photo; it's from New Orleans/Katrina.Let me know if you recognize the artist!
