Miguel Heatwole – Even More People Have Songs

So rich is our tradition that, even limited to one song each, my friends and I are, as I guess, only about two thirds of the way to completing the project. There is so much more to come!

Each volume in the series opens and closes with a song of singing – one that celebrates the combination of word, melody and chorus that makes us glad that we’re alive. Bracketed in between are the joy, joking, tenderness, longing, and grief that have moved people throughout centuries of tradition to make songs. Songs worth carrying with us and sharing with others. The songs we have.
