Music To Research By

Jim, ole wiz of music, I'm desperately trying to remember the words to a song I heard my mother sing years ago. I used to sing it out on the front porch in the swing at night and made my daddy cry. The only part I remember is..." I'm writing this down in a trench, Mom. Don't scold if isn't too neat. You know as you did, when I was a kid, and came home with mud on my feet. ....... Then the old woman's hands began to tremble, as she fought against tears in her eyes. But she wept unashamed, for there was no name. and she knew that her darlin had died" Maybe not the exact words but I still remember the tune. i wish I knew it's origin, Any clue? Thanks Carolyn 

{{{{{Carolyn}}}}}} Heh heh The ole wiz of music struck out on this one. It really strikes me as World War I, maybe World War II time frame. OK Gang! Help me out here.

 .........Enjoy

My great cousins in Virginia Beach sent me a CD this week and I've been reveling in it. :-) The name of it is The Renaissance Album. Artists are Piffaro, The Renaissance Band, The Angels of Venice, George Winston, Ex Umbris, Tracy Silverman & Thea Suits, Ensemble De Medici, Baltimore Consort, David Arkenstone and many others..... What a great mix of talent and all Renaissance Music. Quite a change from the ordinary and very peaceful to absorb, heh heh!.. I think that's what I do now. "Absorb" music instead of just listening to it.... Not really a bad approach...........
