Sparrow was recorded at Jones Sound in Houston, Texas in the early 70s. My beautiful wife Kay has been unresponsive and in a quadriplegic condition since last August when her heart stopped for 10 minutes while at the hospital ER. She suffered severe anoxia. So, I listen to this song a lot because I haven't heard Kay's sweet voice since last August 3. Your prayers would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
