ok, so there are songs that just bring tears to my eyes..............mostly these tunes are hymns.....and mostly hymns that i conjur up palpable visions of my past.........which brings up 2 recent connections...........the lead-in to the l.o.'d blog......there is a balm in gilead...........to make make the wounded whole.......i could go on.....this was a favorite in my hometown church...possibly because it was so personal......i lived in mount gilead, ohio........quite the biblical connection...our yearbook at the high school was the mizbah... after the watchtower at gilead, from whence the balm came.............ah well.........such a soothing song it is....balm in gilead...........which brings up the second 'name that hymn'......john fogerty has a new cd out.....and one of the cuts is called 'in the garden'.....i have read numerous reviews and most seem to point to that song being john's rendition of the hymn of the same name.....the hymn that i can hear my grandmother crown singing quite off-key.....but with fervor.......
of course, i am not so sure that i want to buy this cd just to find out if john can really do justice to this hymn...................such as it is with old songs.......nobody can sing them as well as they have been sung by those who came bfore...........
