      Mary Spender being from Muscle Shoals Alabama it really hit us hard. My town is where she found her sound. I messaged you before saying you and Leo should come and put on a show at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. You would absolutely love the musical history of this town.

    Any song done with love, conviction, and respect is well done. The fact that your version of this song is also pure and beautiful take it to a higher level. Your care for the material and our dearly departed Ms. Franklin shine through. Bravo Mary!
