It's not the song I wanted but here's the only other Harold Blair I could dig up...

 

 

That song takes me back to my childhood.  I don't think I ever attended a church service where this song wasn't sung.  Of course it was a Southern Baptist church so they did a more fast-tempo and shortened version of "How Great Thou Art."  Had to wrap it up and get out of there to beat the lunch crowd at the local restaurant...We weren't waiting in line behind the Methodists!

 

And speaking of good ol' church music...

I was listening to John Hiatt last night and realized a major oversight on my part during the state in a song title thing...

There Yorta Yorta people get their own day...and no it's not JUST because of their Victorian location post walk off...this mob are leaders in the fight for recognition...these fellas lead the aboriginal rights movement, the fight to be counted as residents, the right to vote, and just to be heard and to be recognised as equals, they are musos, they are sportsmen, they are politicians, lawyers, activists, composers, some have been knighted....and William Cooper even has a garden named after him at Yad VaShem.... Anyhow... During their time on the mission in NSW, before the walk off, when they crossed the Murray into Victoria, they were visited by the Frisk choir from Tennessee...they heard a hymn, and translated it into their language... And they still sing it today...

The Tennessee connection:

 

 

How it sounds in Yorta Yorta
