Ann Atwater With Jessie Oh Freedom.

Ann Atwater And I Sing Oh Freedom

On Sunday, March 22, 2015 I practiced singing Cannan's Land in 2 or 3 part harmony. I hadn't really memorized the song yet, and the timing wasn't good in parts of the song, but it's a start.

Cannan's Land Practicing

To Cannan's Land melody and high voice.

I learned "Oh The Dreadful Wind and Rain" from The Red Clay Ramblers. I heard this version of it, in which one sister drowns the other for jealousy, from Jesper Deleuran, and I liked it because it explained why one sister drowned the other. It still doesn't explain why the fiddler made a carcass into a fiddle.

Oh The Dreadful Wind And Rain Take 3

I was tryin' to sing like the old-timey mountain folk.

Amazing Grace-Saturday morning-10-17-15

Again, trying to sing it like the old ones. 

Angel Band-Saturday Morning-10/17/15

I like the recording of Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris singing this in trio. However, I am not a singer like one of them -- I am an Old-Timey singer --and I put my own twist on the traditional Hymn. In other words, for me, those who are living so wicked are people who do not affirm life with passion, talent, love, and honesty.

Farther Along for Andrew Imlay

I heard Jean Richie Do this. My singing is no comparison, but it is from the heart anyway.
