Saturday Serenade

The spectacular voice of Linda Eder singing "Vole Mon Angel" from "Svengali".  And, because she is so much more, I also offer another:

the voice

image by char

can a voice be lost,

if in passing, the presence

is no longer there?

will I remember

the whispered musings and diffuse images

without the physical shape?

i never saw her face;

she was shy that way,

curtaining herself behind sheer poetry.

ever there, a friend

whose countenance i did not know,

a chasm too large to fill.

Saturday Serenade

We saw a lot of these license plates in the Pikeville area.

Miss Patty Loveless knows about coal and coal mining. She grew up in Pikeville, Kentucky, in the heart of coal country.


Her daddy was a coal miner and died from Black Lung Disease, and the emotion you hear in her voice comes from her 'Mountain Soul'.
