Mother Monday #12

Music Monday - Tobacco Road

 Brothers Edgar Winters and Johnny Winters live performance of the song ' Tobacco Road '.  I am thinking it is from their 1970 appearance on Danish television. 

   I have tried to listen to other people's renditions of this song but,by comparison most seem flat. Boring. Lacking. I said most of them. The only other performance of ' Tobacco Road ' that I enjoy is Lou Rawls 1963 rendition. 

  So for a treat, I will put both renditions up and let you decide which one you like the best.

St. Gertrude of Nivelles

 March 17th is the Feast Day of St. Gertrude of Nivelles. She is the patron saint of cats,  poor people, gardeners and widows. After the death of her father Pepin of Landen, Mayor of the Palace of the Kingdom of Austrasia, St. Gertrude's mother, St Itta of Metz, founded the Abbey of Nivelles in Belgium. St. Gertrude was the double monastery's first abbess.
