i wish i could really say what it is about bill withers that's so special. the familiarity with depression is a part of it. the ability to articulate so clearly what it is about sharing your life with another person that's so fulfilling is another part. and also a healthy, earth-bound sense of ones self in relation to another. a humility, a familiarity with limits. and just the crazy perfect songs, like they're natural fixtures in the world, like the world would be an absurd place by definition if they didn't exist.

My brass band finally finished the tribute that we recorded after he passed, it took awhile to figure out recording in our separate homes and putting a video together:https://www.facebook.com/mamadigdown/videos/3043741569039500/
All proceeds go to the New Orleans Brass Band Musicians Relief Fund:https://digdown.bandcamp.com/track/just-the-two-of-us-2
