The evening’s “live” selection on deck: I never really got into the band Bare Naked Ladies but I enjoyed this rendition of a classic Bruce Cockburn tune from 1984. Canadian folk dude Alan Doyle adds a lot to it.

This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste

Bruce Cockburn’s “Stealing Fire” was released not long after I started my first radio gig in Nebraska in ‘84, this the first single that was in my regular rotation on my airshift.

When you're Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

I’m sure thoughts like those expressed in this song by Bruce Cockburn have gone through the minds of thousands of people in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan or anywhere going through the horror of war.

Heard an interview with author M.D. Dunn on Wisconsin Public Radio about his biography of Canadian musician Bruce Cockburn. Made me think of this tune from Bruce’s “Stealing Fire” released in 1984 I played on the radio then.
