Dear Editor,
Re: Sam Baker [“
Terrible Beauty,” Music, Nov. 16, 2007]: I just wanted to say how much I appreciate his beautiful music. My brother gave me
Pretty World for my birthday, and I have to admit the first time I listened to it, I thought to myself, this is great, different music from what I really listen to, but I wondered … is the musician a little tipsy? Then I heard/read the rest of the story.
His story is inspiring to say the least. I am a mother of three, married for 22 years, don't typically like country music, but am pressing the "on" button right now to hear
Pretty World again.
Sam Baker, I love your music; I love the song about the horses. Keep on keeping on.
