Heres a timely anecdote for you Fran Rossi Szpylczyn Im a great fan of the English singer Sam Brown and was lucky enough to see her perform solo in London and was thrilled to be asked backstage to meet her. Since then Ive exchanged the occasional e-mail with her and asked about a song she did with former Squeeze member Jools Holland titled Seven Acts of Mercy which refers to Christianitys exhortation to: feed the hungry; give drink to the thirsty; clothe the naked;. harbour the harbourless.[7] (also loosely interpreted today as To Shelter the Homeless); visit the sick;. visit the imprisoned (classical term is To ransom the captive) bury the dead. Before I go on, just wanted to say that many religions request virtually the same things from their faithful. For example, my Jewish friends refer to these acts as mitzvahs. Sam told me the song was inspired when she and Holland were on tour in, I believe, Belgium, where they saw and were moved to write the song. As Sam says in the song: 7 Acts of Mercy; 6 are not enough. Heres the song. God bless you dear friend. https://youtube/watch?v=tsDb130C0DA
