In memory of Wendell Holmes

In honor of Wendell Holmes, lead singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist of The Holmes Brothers, who passed away today, I recommend listening to "We Meet, We Part, We Remember."  I recommended the song in a previous post for its realistic take on nostalgia and second chances.  Holmes sings it with reflection and understanding.  I also recommend the group's rendition of Lyle Lovett's "If I Had A Boat."  It's one of Lovett's best sets of lyrics, and The Holmes Brothers cover it effectively.
