Home.
Home.
Home.
A drumbeat from the heart urging you back Home for Christmas.
For Aaron Neville Home is in Louisiana and he hymns it royally.
Wherever the Home that calls to your heart is I hope you make it there for Christmas.
Now for some mighty, mighty testifying from The Five Blind Boys of Alabama.
Tom Waits, a notable Jukebox favourite, adds his unmistakeable golden tones to add even more piquancy.
Go Tell It!
W. H. Auden was unquestionably a great Poet who combined enormous technical accomplishment with searching intelligence and wit.
When Auden speaks we do well to listen and reflect.

Thanks for introducing me to some additional music.
You never fail to amaze me. You must know every musical group on earth.

So used to hearing Aaron in his falsetto, I found this very different but liked the rhythm. Same with the Blind Boys of Alabama.I am lucky to have heard them both.I like the poem but wish he would slow down a tad so we can experience the contemplation. Thank you for the selections, Thom.

I agree with all of that. Poetry should be read by someone who doesn’t sound like the kid behind the counter at the convenience store working the weekend radio show for his communication degree. Just my .02.
