Remembering and Imagining

This day has come to mean so much...some pictures I've taken in the last few years that give a sort of definition to my thoughts:

Peaceful rest to the fallen, every person taken from us on that unbelievable day eight years ago, and love and strength to their families and friends. Heartfelt gratitude to all who tirelessly served at Ground Zero, and continue to do so in our communities every day. To our troops around the world, love & thanks with our ongoing prayers for your safe return home.

As if we didn't already love Derek Jeter enough, he gave new meaning to this September 11th day on the calendar...the day he set the record for all-time hits in his NY Yankees uniform. Bravo, captain!

This week in our Hudson Valley Artist Spotlight we heard a new song from Lara Herscovitch, called Carry On, and it's found on her new album: through a frozen midnight sky.

Lara is currently serving as the Connecticut State Troubador, and will be among the performers at The Connecticut Folk Festival & Green Expo this Saturday in New Haven. Check out her calendar and hear more of Lara's music at her website. Be sure to check out the song Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, it's a new holiday favorite for me.

Thank you for giving us a reason to play so many incredible songs. Hope you liked hearing this one from Eric Clapton as much as I LOVED playing it for you.

Peace in music,

Catherine
