David - she's recorded this many times so you might be able to find a better version on youtube.

 

Anne and that song are products of the maritimes (Canada) where I'm from.  I remember when she was going to the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton (where I lived) - she was a driving force even then!

 

My favorite Anne Murray song is "could I have this dance"

Anyone else here on facebook

I agree. I first heard it years ago while I was doing some field work in
Charleston.  Much later on I learned that she's Canadian. There have been
many Canadian singers who've struck our fancy here. Gordon Lightfoot and
Hank Snow are among them.

Now I'll fast forward a bit to strongly recommend some CDs: "Trio" and "Trio
II" featuring Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmy Lou Harris." Honky Tonk
Angels" by Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette which was completed
between the Trio albums was also a big project.

These three albums can be found used on eBay for about three bucks apiece
plus shipping making them
great buys that can be enjoyed for decades.

The Trio II disc include a glass armonica among the instruments. The glass
armonica is a Ben Franklin invention that basically consists of a series of
glass bowls spun on a common shaft which are played with wet fingers. The
glass armonica inspired the original Hammond mechanical tone wheel generator
organs which are still in demand today by musicians who strongly favor them
over the purely electronic later designs.

	I saw 'Dolphin Tale' tonight.

	It was a true story about a dolphin that became entangled in the 
rope of a crab trap and was beached.

	It was saved by a marine biology institute.  The tail had to be 
amputated to save its life.

	A prosthetics expert who worked with wounded warriors worked to 
arrive at a prosthetic device that worked.

	As with all meaningful real life stories, it has a way of showing 
how whom all were involved came together and healed together.

	On a scale of one to ten, I'll give it a nine and half.
