People get ready for the train to Jordan...

About a month or so ago, the conversation of blind musicians came up and I was turned on to The Blind Boys of Alabama. Thanks to itunes, I selected my favorites from the two partial albums they had in stock, Higher Ground and Spirit of the Century.

I purchased:
• "People Get Ready" - People get ready there's a train a'comin'./ You don't need no baggage, just get on board./All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'./You don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord. The lyrics are beautiful. This is music that really moves the spirit.
• "Many Rivers to Cross" - Many rivers to cross/I can't seem to find my way over. Wandering, but I am lost/as I travel along the white cliffs of Dover. - I love sad songs.
• "Amazing Grace" - Listening to this version brings to mind a field with a line of workers tilling the soil by hand. Dust kicks into the air as they toil and sing passionately. This version has so much soul.

I'm probably getting an album or two for Mike for Christmas. I sense he will enjoy the music.

Acne-killer. Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Skin problems are not really an issue for me. I've had fairly good skin with very few breakouts. I do have blackheads on my nose, which irritate me when I notice them, which isn't often because I'm not one to linger at a mirror. Dan at acne.org has done a great job in providing acne information and a regimen to get rid of acne. I need to try it out to see if it will get rid of my blackheads.
