Women's voices: May your song always be sung

Well, we’re at the end of September; I’ve got two more wishes for my Voices to share. Then I’ll go into remission.

I’ve always loved Dylan’s “Forever Young”, and I’ve never heard anyone sing it better than Joan Baez.

I first heard it at that concert at Illini Hall, with my friend Gretchen, so it’ll always be associated with my first experience of mid-western summer humidity and cicadas. But it’s a good thing to wish my readers—that ever-youthful approach to life.

And I couldn’t leave you with a better finish than Eva Cassidy’s “How Can I Keep from Singing”.

On some of my worst days in the past ten years, every time I turned to this, I felt like I had it within me to turn things around. Cassidy has that quality in her, and I do hope I pick some of it up whenever I listen to her.

Peace out.
