Deathbed Blues
from The Flatpicking Pilgrim's Progress · host Gary Allison Furr
The blues can teach us to have a sense of moral seriousness, a steely ethical and spiritual backbone that continues to hope without collapsing into a giddy, almost pre-teen naivete about spiritual matters, in which all is victory, glory, and joy, which requires a selective, edited memory of ourselves and each other that the world around us scorn as hypocrisy that remembers your sins and forgets mine. The final episode in this series, "Feeling the Blues," originally given in 2009. Support the show
