Today started the “wrap up” portion of this semester’s class.  For the last few years, as a way to draw together the major themes of the course and add a personal twist to  things, we’ve played “The Blues” by Switchfoot.  It captures something pretty true about the part of the story that we are in . . . and it asks an honest question about what honest songs can be sung besides “The Blues.”

Here’s what looks like an ancient recording of the song thanks to something known as sessions@AOL.  It’s a little grainy, but it’s the best rendition of the song I could find that wasn’t just a rip of the track.
