The 50th anniversary of the March of Washington for Jobs and Freedom is being commemorated this weekend through August 28. The march took place on August 28, 1963. Free At Last by DC Talk (from one my favorite all-time CDs) samples Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Have a Dream Speech (which I will post on Wednesday).
DC Talk members Toby Mac, Kevin Max and Michael Tait attended Liberty University. How sad it is that Liberty University is hosting the Institute on the Constitution’s course on their television network.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Recorder artist Victoria Rigel plays two recorders at once in this 2008 version of O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Yours truly played the accompaniment.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
