Yes...The tit-for-tatting drives me a little "crazy." I'm enjoying the selections and your reflections very much. And as usual I didn't really know Otis's music and the "tenderness" song I kind of remember was more lyrical, but I got the message! Thank you....

Glad you enjoyed it. Otis Redding was one of the greats. Sadly, he died at just 26 in a plane crash. (Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay, his last song, was the first posthumously released song to win all of the awards and go to #1 on the Billboard charts.
