[Magdalen] Fwd: Our kind

[Grace Cangialosi]

Thanks for this reminder, Mike! I love that whole album. I’m really sorry MO only put out two albums—that one and another, the name of which I can’t remember. (Maybe “God Help Us”?) It has a spectacular version of “Breathe on Me, Breath of God,” with some extraordinary scat singing by Deb Bly; and Calvin Hampton’s setting of “There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy.”
