Waddaya know? I’ve got three hymn requests stacked up. And you know what? I’m gonna post ’em all.
Let’s start with Ella Fitzgerald: Throw Out the Lifeline, sung by Ella Fitzgerald; requested by OhioChessFan.
(If I can post ’em all before I conk out…)
I can’t help it, I love the old-fashioned hymns: like this one from 1888, Throw Out the Lifeline, performed by Nathan (autoharp) and Lyle (guitar). Been a long time since I posted this!
I never heard of this hymn until my wife suggested it last night, and this version of it charmed me. We already have this guy with the autoharp performing Bringing in the Sheaves. He may not be the next Pavarotti, but he plays the autoharp and uses it to praise the Lord, and that is very cool indeed.
So this is just two regular guys giving it their all for a hymn that you don’t often get to hear, up here in Yankeeland. I think it’ll help get your day off to a good start.
