I Aten't Dead

...as Granny Weatherwax wrote (if you don't catch the reference, hie thee over to the local paperback purveyor and check out the works of Terry Pratchett; you've got some 30-plus books in the Discworld series to check out, so you'll be busy for a little while, but it's quite worth it).

Recent pick-up: Billy Porter's At the Corner of Broadway and Soul, an improbable mix of contemporary show tunes, funk, gospel, and insanely high-pitched vocalizations (I'll grant that Bernadette Peter's voice is not the highest out there, but that's still no reason for a male voice to be able to sing "Last Midnight" in the original key, then go higher... unreal!). One can never have too many recordings of Jason Robert Brown's "King of the World," though, and it's nice to finally have the originator of the song record it.
