Eleven Minutes of Beauty

At least, it is to me.

I was fortunate to be born into a home where I was introduced to blues and jazz early on. Now, at 29, I'm still singing them to help cope with my physical disability. Very profound songs.

Had this one on mind tonight. It's a long one, but the message is right. This is actually a cover, but Nina Simone did such a job singing and expanding upon it, the original writer of the song took inspiration from it for his future work.
