I didn't realize when you mentioned it earlier - I was sure you said it was "Amazing Grace", but I guess I wasn't paying that close attention at the time. The song is "Winter Sky" and it's by Billy Edd Wheeler. It has a very soulful gospel sound. I have the Judy Collins songbook that must have been published 25-30 years ago and it's one of my favourite songbooks. It has a lot of Judy's early material, but interspersed with that is a sort of autobiography with lots of photos of Judy and her family from the time she was just a baby. The last photo in the book (on the inside back cover) is a picture of Judy's son Clark when he was about 12-14. What a cute kid, with freckles all over his face, and what a tragedy that he ended up committing suicide. I don't know anything about him, but he was Judy's only child, so I can only imagine the pain. Out under the winter sky, out under the winter sky Stars come tremble my eye, stars come tremble my eye And I feel like something's gonna die I feel like something's gonna die I feel like something's gonna die Hand me wings, for to fly. High is heaven in early morn, high is heaven in early morn Men lie sleeping in beds that are warm Sleep in beds that are warm And I feel like something's being born I feel like something's being born I feel like something's being born Tells my soul not to mourn. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
