A Thought for Today
Anything that is done with love is done with care.
This
One Does It For Me!
Ken,
There was a song on one of the albums I had that contained:
"I wish I had a new song to sing, one you haven't heard...that began
with love ... and ended with love and had only love between ... a story
just as bold as Jack the Giant Killer......"
The music and the sentiment was beautiful and I put my child down for a
nap with that album. I so wish those cd's were available now.
Thanks for listening,
Torilyn
The piece you refer to is "A
New Lullaby" from the album The Sky, Torilyn.
Never having heard to album
I was initially stumped but Jay Hagan was kind enough to point me in the
right direction.
You'll find the album liner
notes below and we're also hoping it will appear on CD sooner rather
than later.
Liner
Notes - The Sky
Six years ago I conceived “The Sea”. I hadn’t met Anita Kerr, nor had I
thought of sharing my work with anyone else. It was to be an extension
of myself and my feelings about love, using the sea as a canvas.
The many false starts my “sea" project had, and the events that led to
my meeting Anita and asking her to compose music for my words, have been
detailed on the jacket of “The Sea” album, so I won’t go into them again
here. The collaboration did take place, producing for the two of us a
best selling album, a sequel entitled, “The Earth” and now the final set
of the trilogy, “The Sky” all in the space of a year.
The year has ended as has the collaboration. For Anita and myself there
are many memories left. For you, three shiny, black records... they are
filled with a woman’s feelings about how music should be written and a
man’s ideas about life.
