Songbirds


By Baxter

Sometimes an era can be defined by the women who sang about it.

Jo Stafford, who crooned behind the Second World War and the Korean War, has died. But amazingly, Vera Lynn, who bucked England up through the Battle of Britain, is still with us.

In honor of both women, then, we leave you with these hopeful thoughts for the weekend.

I'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places


That this heart of mine embraces


All day through...
