like the first morning…. I can place this in a gym, before title IX, as we were hanging out and listening to the former Cat Stevens, now Yusuf Islam, nee Steven Demetre Georgiou. South of the Mason-Dixon line they didn’t care if women had gym classes, only that they knew how to aim a BB gun. Every Southern Lady knows how to shoot, they said, so I moved back north to finish my high school education. I failed rifelery at age 12.
I knew I loved this music as it spoke to my heart. Like Dave Mason, Bob Dylan and others, given my musical upbringing I had to listen. Now Yusuf has a new CD out and I’d like to hear it. I wish him well in his life and life’s journey. It may not be mine but I respect him. No matter what faith, he seems to write what he believes.
Yours in folk music, Dee
Cooking with Dee 
I loved the Tea for The Tillerman album!!
I’ll have to look for his new CD….I thought he gave up music.
I saw an old guy on a news show the other night and recognized the voice immediately. Yusuf Islam is the name. I checked iTunes and it’s available. Cheers! Dee
