A Change is Gonna Come
Yesterday at the Chicago Cultural Center, blues man Vino Louden was playing. I was walking through the building when I came upon the free show and so I stuck around as long as I could. Sadly, I wasn't able to stay until the very end where he was going to sell CDs and I was disappointed to find out you can't buy them from his website. vinomusicman.com
But the songs I did hear were really quite wonderful. Here's a few minutes of a cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come."

I shot the video only because I wanted to look up the song later and I didn't have any other way of recording the lyrics. I did not know the name Sam Cooke and prior to today didn't know the history behind this particular song. But really, that's all secondary. It was simply really nice to spend 45 minutes listening to a really talented musician singing the blues.
