Day 17.
It's hard for me to say I have a favorite artist. I love music too much, and it's too much a part of my life to choose just one person. But when I do try it almost always comes down to two people — Sam and Ella.
And since I've already given Sam his shout-out, there's now a place for me to share my unabashed love for this woman whose voice engulfs my spirit with so much light and joy ... and ease.
She makes all the notes sound so easy and warm. What a mighty instrument her voice was and still is. I can't think of a better jam to play for summer's first day.
