"Now you're just weird!"
You realize this only now?
No, I knew it before now, but didn't want to be rude. ;)
Ah!!! . . . Miss Eva, one of my favorites . . . Sissy introduced her to me a few years ago and I had to go out and buy everything she'd ever recorded before she died in her early thirties . . . so young . . . sigh!!!
Haven't been writing much, been reading alot, and about halfway through a book I found in a small bookstore. poems with a strong ethnic background from the Caribbean. Great reading and a different viewpoint I must say. Here is a smaller sample:
From the Penguin book of 'Caribbean Verse'

African Dirge
O, why should we the dead deplore,
Who bids us now ‘farewell’;
Since he has gone to Guinea’s shore,
For ever there to dwell?
Now, underneath the village-tree,
That dear familial place,
He breathes the air of liberty,
Mid his departed race.
Why should we mourn for him who lives
Amid the blessed blest?
It is alone the living grieves-
The dead enjoys his rest.
Brother! remember us, as we
Thus hail thy happy flight;
Brother! we soon shall follow thee-
Till then a brief good night!
