Wade in the water

You never know where you’re going to find the next bit of music that stirs you. Sometimes it’s from a friend, sometimes from the radio or TV, and sometimes from a film.

One of the best things about iTunes is the ability to search by a song title and listen to a stack of different versions of it. I found a couple of versions of this song that floated my boat. But this one makes me shiver. It’s sung by Judy Henske, recorded in 1963. Here’s a clip:

Enjoy – cheers,
