I was so honored to perform “I’ll Be Rested” during “Stories from Civil Rights History, Then and Now” at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church in Meridian, MS on June 23.
Adapted by Mavis Staples and Ry Cooder, “I’ll Be Rested” calls out fallen soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement, from Meridian and Mississippi and across the nation. Author Susan Follett (The Fog Machine) included it in the “Stories” events to honor those fallen soldiers. Listen for the names added by attendees.

Here is a sample of Open Mic in Meridian where we are able to try out new songs without intimidation, allowing songwriters the ability to revisit their lyrics, sound and delivery for revision. So I'm daring to share two raw new originals on my site to practice what I preach. Dare to be fearless, dare to put yourself out there, dare to make mistakes, dare to be objective about your work. Revision IS writing, in any category or genre. Hope to share the final versions soon! (Find the final version of Uniform under "Solo Performance."
