Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

For those of you like the OP, that are too lazy to go to Church.

Mr Smith will bring Church to you.

Amen

I'll just have to pretend not to see that hat. While there have been a number of good female vocalists to come along, he's the only outstanding male vocalist to come along in quite some time.

To put something special in "Merry Christmas Baby", a song that's been sung by all the best male vocalists since God knows when, is quite a feat.


Cécile McLorin Salvant is just so unique; she adds a new and different twist to whatever she sings.


As many times as I've heard that tune, not once was it in church; unless I was at the church of good times, but I'm sure reverend Smith's "Sermon" has redeeming qualities.

More good music for a Sunday evening;

Here is the Doctor John whose ways our Dr. John adopted, and got his ways;

I'm still getting into New Orleans culture because it's new to me. Right now I'm fascinated by "Second Lines";

Since I'm not a native of NOLA, I'm sure any one who is, can find "Second Lines" better than what I posted. Please join in.
