BERKSHIRES MUSIC BEAT USA ! 25

With Gene Christy & Rod MacDow

episode twenty-five . . .

Happy Holidays, everybody!

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, and so, for many families here in Berkshire County and around the country, it will be a special day, a day of gathering together of loved ones and friends to celebrate, to share food, laughter and good times—and, of course, music.

But whatever your faith, persuasion, background or nationality, we here at

BERKSHIRES MUSIC BEAT USA !

send out our best wishes to you and yours for a happy and holy holiday!

And in honor of the best of human sentiments, the sharing of joy, we would like to present today only one song –

A special song – –

Taken from a special book – –

And shared by millions the whole world over, whatever their creed or faith, as a testament to the power of love—

From the Old Testament – –

Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want . . .”

Performed here so beautifully by the Berkshires’ own Robin O’Herin . . .

Psalm 23

It’s the place to be! It’s the “church-hall of the cyberspace” !! —

I’m happy to say that right after this, I’m leaving for a long-anticipated trip to Florida to see my own family—and that last night, here in Pittsfield, at the Marketplace Café,

I had my personal best.

Playing and singing.

So thank you all who were there and contributed to the tip jar! You are the ones who made it a special evening for me!

And–lest we forget–to all those attending Monday’s running of the Boston Marathon–runners and spectators alike–stay strong!–stay BOSTON STRONG !! MAKE IT YOUR PERSONAL BEST !!

We’ll be gone for just a week, so don’t forget us, and remember, when we come back we’re going to move on to upcoming features on such outstanding, notable, listenable bands as The 3D’s, Champagne Jam, and County Line—as well as Tom Gardner, Dave Healey, Patrick Gray, and the Gypsy Jazz Ambassadors–

Thank you!
