Ain't nothin' like a Sunday morning with a pot of coffee, the New York Times, Chris Matthews (TV volume low) and Brother Jess. (more on Jess in a minute) This weekend's mix is pure soul. The Sunday morning kind of soul.
I know some of you have been in the Gospel Tent at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Pretty tough to put into words just what happen
s under that massive canvas. Am I right or am I right? Hallelujah!Not gonna get all pr
eachy-ass on you. Just saying this--when you're surrounded by so many hopeful people, it doesn't really matter if generally, you are not. It's contagious.This week seems like an appropriate week for some inspiration. So please, trip lightly into this fantastic mix. It's all great music. It's the good kind of church.
