Same guy, same baggy yellow shirt, same fuzzy hair, same morning, same piano, recorded with same iPhone with no external microphone…different piece in my recent group of piano arrangements: “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” Sheet music available at SheetMusicDirect and SheetMusicPlus sometime after September 5th…check here back for links after that date. Yes…the familiar tune you know is in there, it’s just hidden in an inner voice all the time. This was my dad’s favorite Christmas song.

Friends,
There is a front-page article in today’s Tampa Bay Times about James Barnes, whom Governor DeSantis is planning to execute today. Here is a link to the story:

It contains information on his case, and on his interactions with German filmmaker Werner Herzog.
Remember the vigil this afternoon:

– If the execution is stayed, the vigil will be cancelled.
