When music can sustain us in hard times

Rhiannon Giddens spoke with NPR's 'Morning Edition' about the area in and around the town of Swannanoa, in her home state of North Carolina, as it recovers from the devastation brought by Hurricane Helene. She also talks about an earlier tragedy in the region—a 19th-century train tunnel collapse—that inspired the old work song "Swannanoa Tunnel," which she recorded with Silkroad Ensemble. "Why were we given the ability to sing and touch people?" Giddens asks. "And this is why: when you think about the destruction, there are no words, so a song can tap into something that then releases energy—now I can cry. That's what it's for, helping us all with the emotions that are bigger than we know what to do with."

“Freedom is just another word for nothin’ left to lose”

Kris Kristofferson, who left us last week, had not heard his dear friend Janis Joplins recording of his song until after she had passed.

It obviously deeply affected him and in 2020 he recalled the moment he heard it before it got released in 1971 : “There was so much love and emotion going into the song, and then knowing that she wasn’t there to enjoy that.”

During times of tragedy and loss, holding loved ones close and recognizing loss is one of the most important things we can do.

Hang in there folks .

We will get through this - together ❤️
