Rachael Price - "Skylark" [Studio Version]



Some mornings something sublime is given to you. This morning on a more than usual god-awful commute up 95 north in the ocean state something sublime was given to me. Now one has to do more than a little bit of searching these days to find jazz on FM radio. Upon moving to RI, I found such
an FM station in WRIU. With programs like Bill Melone’s Swing Shift and Friday’s morning program with the ‘Eggman’ for “those tunes that have fallen through the cracks” I have enjoyed music I can’t really hear anywhere else on the radio. On this particular morning, doing songs
from Johnny Mercer,the beautiful song,  Skylark was played.

Not only was it played, but this sparse, haunting version from Rachel Price was
presented to me…and I gratefully embraced it. Sublime.
