RIP, sweetie.

I hope someone somewhere blogs the music at Inaugural events. I vote for Sweet Honey In The Rock and Beyonce, but the possible list is endless. We can all mourn the fact that Mahalia Jackson, Ray Charles, Paul Robeson, and so many others won't  appear in their physical personages, although I'm reasonably sure they will be there in spirit.

Quincy Jones, can you help us out? Rock the world, man!

Barbara Jordan

I don't know if Barbara Jordan ever sang a note, but she sure could speak! I wish she could be with us also.

Oh, crap! Now I'm crying.
