...singin' is believin' "and it's almost as if her album is the dream she's leading you into after she has put you to sleep. There are moments on the album when the songs seem to fit together as nicely as a string of dreams. The slow western drawl promising to take you away "across the wide open sheets of the prairie" leads into a faster country tune, "Racing Boat," that hinges on escape.

He is a music lover who each year organizes a Louis Armstrong memorial at the law school. The Texas-born scholar, who still has his drawl, also plays the trumpet and "a pretty good cowboy harmonica." A lifelong devotee of Chesterton's joy at being in the wrong place, Black began his scholarly career as a Greek major at the University of Texas. Why Greek?
