Tim-- this is amazing stuff. Simply because of all her musical inflections, I always assumed that Martha grew up singing gospel music, but never knew the actual background. The piece from the Polytechnic High School performance is remarkable-- to hear her riffing on the words "everybody", so many years before the Black Box recordings is almost eerie. I love following "God's Music Is My Life", but for obvious reasons, this one of my favorite posts. You're doing great and important work in celebrating so many under-recognized master musicians.
