For all you Ernie Harwell fans out there, I’m sharing this wonderful audio tribute, (click below to “read more”) starting at approx. 3:25. Well worth a listen. For me, the voice of Ernie Harwell was the voice of summer itself. It’s just that simple.
Ernie always started the season with this reading from The Song of Solomon:

And so it is with great pleasure that we announce the newly redesigned LLLA logo, thanks to Bethany Kucera of BatGirl Designs.
