Meryl Streep & Garrison Keillor ~ In The Garden~ ( A Love Song )

from the Radio-Program ~ A Prairie Home Compagnion CD - Duets ~

A True Classic Indeed! Just Cruising thru Garrison Keillor's Greatest Hits on his usual Saturday night prime time spot. I think a true Joy was lost when Garrison stepped away (not by choice), and there will forever be a space in my Heart (more like a an unfathomable crater) from the Happiness his show and all of his special guests like Meryl Streep brought to me and so many others. His Cancellation was actually a Big Big Mistake....I know I am not the only one to yearn for his whisper poetry voice. Wherever you are Garrison Keilor Brightest Blessings to you Sir. May this Note find you Well and Basking in the Warm Light, Beloved Forever 🌺🌟🙏🎶🎤🌞💝🍀 ~

I had them play this song at my daughter's funeral. She left behind five children. The oldest was 16 at the time. Recently her husband a police officer was killed in the line of duty. My granddaughter asked me the name of this song. She had it played at her husbands funeral and asked me to sing it in harmony with her. I couldn't think of a greater honor.

As a Lutheran minister I've presided over many a funeral where this song had to be played. It has such a sweetness to it, but it also tells such a beautiful story of the savior.

Meryl Streep jest jedyna, nie do zastąpienia. zachwyca mnie jej naturalność, jej gra, piękny śpiew. Od lat jestem jej fanką. Nieczęsto rodzi się taki talent!

[gaileedelman]

Is there anything she doesn't do??  she is so talented

[annenyman]

She is just so talented! A lovely voice.

[sodimite]

There is not much that moves me to tears, but this song is just so beautiful that it makes me well up every time I listen to it...It comes from a place when courtship meant something, and people were virtuous...I'll never become tired of this sweet old melody....

[jeffbird]

first time hearing this, Meryl Streep, this duet is amazing

[sporter]

I listen to this over and over.... Its because it is clear and simple... and it touches my heart. I have requested that her version be sung at my funeral. But not just yet ...god willing...:)

Ohmygosh, what a treasure this recording it for me.  It's a beloved hymn and to be sung by Meryl Streep and Garrison Keillor, well!  WOW! 
Thanks for the post. <3

It's a joyful moment when you're drinking your own tears, hearing the sounds and feeling the love of your grandmother.  Laura Allison would play  this and make me and my sister and our  cousins sing along with her, a fifty-some-year-old woman and her choir of 4 and 5 and 6-year old Denny and Gary and Karen and Debbie, standing around bumping hips with each other and rolling our eyes and sticking out our tongues, behind her head so's she wouldn't be hurt at our silly ways.  Oh my and oh me, to go back for one more minute, standing in that cold living room on that pine plank floor, circled around our Mawie.  ( I KNOW, Grandmother, I know : " Don't call me Mawie " !  It's only one more time, here tonight -- Mawie  ) My favorite hymn, even more than The Old Rugged Cross or Onward, Christian Soldiers.  I figured out, just now, why it's my favorite.

I planned my mother-in-laws memorial service and this was one of the hymns. Many people never heard it and everyone was able to sing it. They loved it.
