A day to...

Sarah Vaughan and Mies van der Rohe have the same birthday. That's an interesting pairing. On the one hand her work has affected me much more than his has. For years I've been wowed by her singing. On the other hand, I do respect him as a creative person. He challenged what, say, houses and official buildings were supposed to look like, successfully.

They both certainly left their marks on our world but I too prefer Sarah Vaughn's humanity to Mies van der Rohe's steel and glass.

I second that emotion.
