The song also contains a whispering voice saying “quite rightly”, so here’s your topic task, SONGS THAT INCLUDE A WHISPER.

This Sunday is the 29th Annual Austin Empty Bowl Project at the Central Texas Food Bank at 6500 Metropolis. Donate $30 for a hand-painted ceramic bowl, and it’ll get filled with a gourmet soup from one of the participating local restaurants while you enjoy live local music and the knowledge that your generosity is helping out hungry area kids, people who are struggling to make ends meet, the food bank and Meals on Wheels Central Texas. And, yes, you get to keep the bowl(s) as a reminder of your generosity!

It’s a beautiful event and one that requires AN INSPIRING PLAYLIST FEATURING SONGS ABOUT SOUP, HUNGER, HELPING OTHERS AND MORE.

Post a song here and join us for a set in the morning around 11:08. AND IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT, PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD TO THOSE WHO MIGHT. Thank you! .......................................................
