Tayari's Blog: Age Ain't Nothin But A Number

78 year old Ed Reed has just released his gorgeous debut CD, Love Stories. I heard a review on Here and Now, one of my favorite NPR shows. The interviewer asked why Mr. Reed too so long to record his first album. The answer? "In a word, heroin." For some reason, that just made the story all the more inspire. It's like you never screw up to forfeit your second chance. I am so frustrated that the CD isn't on iTunes. The radio program played some snippets and I am SPRUNG. The songs are gorgeous jazz standards but also unheard songs with lyrics by Truman Capote. So beautiful.
