Description

My wife wanted me to put this song here and I'm glad to, but I notice today that several people have already recorded this lovely song for MacJams. I hope you don't mind this version which I've sung for years. I don't think of it as a sorrowful song but one about the hope of fulfilment to come.

I chose the picture because it's a beautiful garden and that's what the word paradise means.

	Wayfaring Stranger Thank you, Bill. I often think a simple approach is more in keeping with this kind of song; it doesn't draw attention away from the words. Check out my latest song called The Fair

Wayfaring Stranger
I don't know how I missed this earlier but you've made a beautiful rendition of one of my favourite folk songs (at least, I think of it as folk as I first heard it sung by Joan Baez). Please thank your wife for asking you to post it.

(PS: Thank you for the note and the download on Nowell. I will come back and listen to more when I have a little more time.)

Check out my latest song called Dancing on the Head of a Pin

	Perfect! As one who has done this song solo acoustic style on occasion also, it can't be done any better than this. You have achieved perfection, a state to which mankind rarely ascends. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Wayfaring Stranger You're very kind, Tom. You and I shared a similar taste in music during our formative years; I'm going to have a good listen to your MacJams contributions- we seem to like singing a lot of the same songs nowadays! Ken Check out my latest song called The Fair
