Spirit of Muddy Waters by Ramon Taranco

Hi Everyone
I sent a detailed promo-style note but didn't know it would be posted - thought it would go directly to a music director. So here's my reason for submitting this song. What "Spirit of Muddy Waters" means to me:
This song talks about daily struggles and one of the incredible things about 9/11 is how so many New Yorkers kept on with their daily lives amidst such an horrific time. The spirit of New Yorkers and the way they collectively handled adversity is what I'm wanting to pay tribute to - by submitting a song by a New Yorker who continued to perform and teach guitar in Manhattan and whose way of living is about rising above adversity. I'm really touched by all the comments I've read on this page. Thank you all for opening your hearts and sharing how you really feel. 9/11/11 is going to be an amazing outpouring of love and WNYC is going to play an important part in that outpouring.
