Yesterday would have been my friend Kaz's 50th birthday. Her death back in May has made this a melancholy year for myself and Susan, and tomorrow will be her celebration of life.
I tend to know the kinds of music my friends enjoy. But what Susan and I were struck by is that, with Kaz, we didn't necessarily talk about music much with her. So I don't have artists who immediately come to mind when I think of her.
But for years, Kaz's email signature included this quote from Michael Franti: "Love like your life depends on it, because it does." Franti is a bit of a blind spot for me, so I didn't immediately know what song that line was from. Turns out, it's "Speaking of Tongues." So today's video is dedicated to her.
