1917 by David Olney is one of the greatest songs ever written - and I am not, repeat not, exaggerating. I am so enthusiastic about it that I want to share it with anyone who asks. If I do not already have your e-mail address, send it to me (you may create one for the purpose) and I will send you David Olney's original account and Emmylou Harris and Linda Rondstadt's exquisite account via Yousendit. I just think it is a pity that most songs of that level - Old Man River, Schubert's Singing over the Waters, Blowin' in the wind, and so on - should be universally famous, and this masterpiece should be almost unknown.

Perhaps 1917 would be universally famous if it was featured on a popular tv show. Say... The Simpsons? That's how I know Blowin' in the Wind, anyway. ;)

I'm halfway throught the first and "haunting" doesn't even begin to do it justice. I can't thank you enough for these songs. The first is reminiscent of (but surpass) the versions I have of the song "Cruel War"

The other is downloading now and I can't wait to hear it.
If you can't tell, I have a huge weakness for music. Terrible memeory for muscial information, but I love music none the less.
