goodbye, dial-up

Well, we finally got cable. It's incredible. I went straight to youtube, of course, to see various political videos, but ended up with music. It was like playing telephone. I started with Allison Krauss singing Carolina, and ended up with Van Morrison and the Cheiftans singing Goodnight Irene. The very best was the incredible Mahalia Jackson singing Just a closer walk with thee.I recommend it. Be sure to get the version at the Louis Armstrong tribute. There were several, but the others were kind of slick.

I am envious, I have wanted to say goodbye to dial up for quite a while. Chandran for some reason is unsure.
