Dear Rich,
On this Friday, this day of penance, please pray for us. We miss you, miss your music. Tell Francesco and Chiara hello from all of us. Oh, and ask them to pray for us, too. With the whole band of heavenly Ragamuffins can you sing God a song for us and from us? Might I suggest Hard to Get? Anyway, I am using this song of yours for my Friday traditio, a silly thing I do on my blog.
With much love and gratitude,
Scott
The click at the end of this recording, recorded on a tape recorder purchased from K-Mart, reminds me that this was among the last recordings Rich made. These recordings were played and produced in studio after his death by friends and, along with these raw recordings, became the two disc The Jesus Record. On this Friday just before Lent I take comfort in knowing that only the wounded need a healer. I like that there is no video. This is a good follow up to my last post on feelings.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
