The amazing grace of Larwyn sent me this, The Blind Boys of Alabama singing "Amazing Grace." And it is amazing.
It's moving on to midnight Sunday here in Seattle where, at last, the rains have moved in. End your weekend or start your day with this. You can't got wrong either way.
are a gospel group from Alabama that first formed at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind at Talladega, Alabama in 1939. The three main vocalists of the group and their drummer/percussionist are all blind.
If they can see, surely we can too.

Posted by: goy at October 19, 2009 10:20 AMYou're absolutely right Gordon but may I suggest that these men might refer to it as The House of the Rising "Son".
