For those of you like me that never leave home without your ipod, whether you’re headed for five minute walk or a half-hour bus ride, I found some new content you might be interested in.  Although I’ve got a great collection of hundreds of my favorite songs on my ipod, occasionally I find myself thinking I could possibly use my time listening to a book or somehow being exposed to a little more culture.  Recently I found music that will satisfy both - it’s a new album by Richard Heard entitled “Ain’t A That Good News: African-American Art Songs and Spirituals”.  This cd provides a nice change of pace from the mindless pop music that I generally listen to and it also gives me the feeling that I’m actually taking an opportunity to expose myself to a new cultural experience as opposed to just killing time.  So, if you’re looking for a change of pace, load this album of African American art on your ipod and give it a shot.
