You don’t mind if I get on a Burl Ives roll, do you? His mellow voice was perfect for these good old hymns. Shall We Gather at the River is one of my favorites; and the haunting photograph doesn’t hurt, either.
God grant we never have to do without prayer–or hymns.
I have lived in Metuchen, NJ, all my life. I have been married to my wife Patricia since 1977. I am a former newspaper editor and reporter. I was also the owner-operator of my own small business for several years. I wrote various novels and short stories published during 1980s and 1990s. I am a long-time student of judo and Japanese swordsmanship (kenjutsu). I also play chess, basketball, and military and sports simulations.

I like his voice too. He was my late husband’s favorite. The scenes are always great, too.
