A special song that always speaks to my heart. Gets me away from navel-gazing around grief, into a lovely hopeful and grateful spot, and gives me wishes for my kids and grandkids. Thanks for all of that!

Greetings from England, I’m a picker and a thinker with time on my hands in these Covid days. Leaning in to fingerstyle technique I came across your thinking music. I could make this such a long post, but briefly, a few days ago after I began to learn this tune I read a CS Lewis essay entitled Transposition. In this essay I believe is buried your one solid thing. Hope you get to read this Antje :) Many thanks and Agape, from UK xxx

I have heard perhaps 10, 000 folk songs in my lifetime. This is one of the prettiest of those... What a gift she has. Thank you kindly for sharing...

This song is definitely a "sweet spot " reminding us that in spite of day to day discord we view on TV and media that life has beautiful moments.

This song says so much more to me than "just the surface" of the actual words, I very much look forward to the opportunity of seeing you in August.

[JeffersonFox]

Strange thing. I had left the computer as Lucy Kaplansky finished one of her songs. Then this came on; at first I thought it was her, but no. Then I looked at the video. Seemed like very good amateur stuff going on. The more I listened, I looked down and found Shindell's name. There's a connection of course. The confluence seems to be good for your voice and performance. Good luck.

[robinhinde]

Did this particular recording ever end up on an album?  It's not on New Siberia.
