The High Priestess of Soul

Yesterday at dusk, during a long bike ride past rice fields, bumpy roads and more I listened to Nina Simone's "Feelin Good" and I decided, that yes, this is the right way to start the new year.
"To most white people, jazz means black and jazz means dirt, and that's not what I play. I play black classical music."
I couldn't find a version of Feelin Good on youtube (strange) - but here is another Nina Simone song "Ain't Got No... I Got Life"
Yeah this is how I start the new year (Amy, this can replace that violent femmes song)
