Today I am taking a sick day. I am a bit better but achy and coughing. I have done very little the last few days, but today I have no choice but to get dressed and drag myself to the drug store. I’ll sandwich the errand between naps!!

I’ll be back on Thursday, well I hope.

When I went back to Ghana after 40 years, my students, on my last night visiting where I had lived and taught, sang this song for me. They called it Miss Ryan’s song and said they had been singing it all these years when they get together for events like weddings and reunions. They had learned it from my playing it so often.

I’ll post my music later this afternoon after my concert.
