My friend Michael White is a fantastic songwriter, and, although I am quite late in getting the word out about one of his recent projects, I hope you will check out his “It’s a Wonderful Life” video. It is really well done and worth your time. Here is a shot of Michael looking all songwriter-y. . .

Anyway, his lyrics have a way of getting stuck in one’s head. At least they get stuck in mine. This bit — from an entirely different song of his — is one of my very favorites:

The broken glass in the road,
cuts you deep but you know …
they may be diamonds in available light.
