Listening Post

I posted this song a couple of months ago, but this morning I don't think anything else will do.

Even the images of lakes and mountains and trees seem appropriate.

Here's Shawn Smith -- Wrapped in My Memory.

Goodbye, Mikey.

The world will be a far lesser place without you.

Listening Post

James Gandolfini is being laid to rest today, the funeral service going on right now at St. John the Divine in New York City.

If you're a fan of The Sopranos -- or of Gandolfini himself -- this astonishingly beautiful video, edited by Lyle at Exeterstreet.net, will make you cry.

The music is the great Shawn Smith, frontman of bands like Brad and Satchel.

Here's Trapped in My Memory.

So long, James.
