Last night I stayed home from choir rehearsal due to a migraine. It was so intense that I couldn't simply sleep it off or take pain killers, so I sat listening to music until I fell asleep. As I sat in bed for the duration of about three albums, the final voice I heard before drifting off was that of Bessie Smith. On more than one occasion, I have forgotten about my physical pain while listening to this diva's voice. The repeated chord progressions comfort me and her voice surrounds me.
