Who am I to doubt these mysteries?
It’s been a while since I’ve posted song lyrics that (in my mind) relate to the day’s image. This photo made me think of the song “Guadalupe” with the fantastic line “Who am I to doubt these mysteries?” and here are two versions of it. This one is by Tom Russell, and this one is by Gretchen Peters, with Tom Russell. (If you like the way Tom and Gretchen sound together, you should look for their album One to the Heart One to the Head.)
I found these well-used candles in the church in Terlingua, Texas’s most famous ghost town.

Social Aid and Pleasure Club
A couple of days ago, I posted a photo of a second line gentleman, waiting for the rest of the group to show up. And here’s what happened after they’d all arrived.
New Orleans’s social aid and pleasure clubs, which are part of the second line traditions, are an interesting cultural institution, and you can read more about them here and here.
