We interrupt this break

… to state that Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu has THE BEST VOICE.

First heard on The Music Show.

Now playing on iTunes: Gurrumul History (I was born blind).

Bruce Elder loves the album.

I find this meme very strange - so many of the songs seem so apt somehow. First seen at Ampersand Duck’s.

(I have probably used up my quota of memes this past couple of weeks. This morning I don’t have much time to read, ponder and blog as I have to be at work early (M needs to get in early to do daylight saving preparation with our servers). It’s very grey and raining at the moment - most un-Novemberish!)
