Ship Is Sailing

Podcast Episode Summary

My favorite song of 2011 turned out to be one I hadn't heard, before. Jimmy Cliff stands strong. A rocksteady song of optimism is just what the doctor ordered.
Good, also, to hear that Casper Lomayesva continues the Word-Sound-Power from Hopi-land.

Also... a Bon Voyage to WTJU's "Waraba", who is returning to his friends and son in Mali, his spiritual Home, for two months.

The bar has been raised for the New Year.
