Miles Davis/Edith Piaf Stamps

E-mail is efficient, but a personal letter with a commemorative stamp is quite special.  The U.S. Postal System and France's La Poste just released stamps that "cross borders, cultures and generations" and feature national icons, Miles Davis (1926-1991) and Edith Piaf (1915-1963). They lived at about the same time but probably never met, yet they both communicate with "an intensity of feeling." ($9/sheet, $0.45/stamp) Enjoy these amazing tracks, relax with a glass of wine, and write a letter!

Edith Piaf, "La Vie en Rose"
