Quote of The Day
illustration by acp A friend of mine sent this to me today and I think it is just precious! So I decided to share it. "May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

It is there for each and every one of us." - -I could not figure out who wrote this, unfortunately. Thought it was St. Teresa but received an email telling me that it's not hers. If you know who wrote it, please let me know. Thanks!

He started out working in Memphis R&B bands with his brother, guitarist Calvin Newborn, and recorded with local players including B.B. King in the early '50s. Brief stints with Lionel Hampton and Willis Jackson preceded a period in the military (1952-1954). After moving to New York in 1956, Newborn astounded fans...
