This recent cover of Stephen Foster's "Hard Times" by the legendary Mavis Staples blows me away. 🎶

"For me and for many others, it’s Foster’s finest work. The song is untainted by dialect, with a memorable tune and powerful lyrics, and I have found it a salve during recent hard times."

Hard Times

"Now, this schoolroom is a Nation. And in this nation, there are fifty millions of money. Isn’t this a prosperous nation?"

‘What did you say?’ asked Louisa.

‘Miss Louisa, I said I didn’t know. I thought I couldn’t know whether it was a prosperous nation or not, and whether I was in a thriving state or not, unless I knew who had got the money, and whether any of it was mine."
