We Can Dream

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.

Abraham Lincoln (1809–65), U.S. president. Second Inaugural Address, 4 March 1865.

Thanks for stopping by. Daughter grew up listening to Stones, Sinatra and Springsteen. Of course, she knows musically the Beatles collectively and individually. And she is familiar with Billie Holliday, when she hears her. However, we went wrong someplace because she is an unabashed Britney Spears fan.
