🎶 My one verse instrumental of a hymn that was published in 1931. The verses were written by Eleanor Farjeon, who was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex. It was then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune known as "Bunessan". Cat Stevens popularized it in 1971.

🎶The Wayfaring Stranger
My one verse instrumental of an American folk hymn about a plaintive soul on the journey through life. The song's likely origin is in the early 1800s.
It became one of Burl Ives' signature songs and was used as the title of his 1940s CBS radio show.

🎶The Living Stream
My one verse cover of an American folk melody known as "Resignation". The tune became the basis of a hymn written by Isaac Watts in the 18th century. The verses are a paraphrase of the 23rd Psalm, and Watts’s interpretation stands among the most lovely and most tender.
