From the late 60's to the early 90's was a blur. Not really, but bad enough. Crack was my downfall. 6 months and 10,000 dollars gone forever. Embarrassing. But a quarter of a century ago. Good now. Better than I ever dreamt it could be. If it wasn't for Jesus I'd be dead for sure. 😀

I mentioned John McCutcheon's version on a CD from quite a while ago, only one voice but with great instrumentation, he sang the definitive version. I only found him doing that song playing just an autoharp, nice but nothing like the studio version.
Listen to this more recent song from him, quite nice: Room at the top of the stairs.

Touching! I like that one. I have a twelve year old son with a room at the top of the stair. I'll play this for him and his mother later today. Thanx.

John McCutcheon is a national treasure.
