"The Water is Wide"

"The Water is Wide"
~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-)))

I am still struggling to get up-to-date here on ipernity.

But, I think I may have actually caught-up commenting upon postings to our 'Soundtrack to Life' Group :-)

So, in way of a small celebration I am uploading this shot to -
Soundtrack to Life

The song talks of water and a boat for two. There is water in my shot and a boat although it carries a lot more than just two peeps. But, I think I am allowed this link :-))

The track comes from Fred's classic "Bleeker & MacDougal" album. It is very sad to read that Fred passed away in 2001 when he was battling skin cancer.

I know the song well, have several recordings of it by many artists.

Yes that boat is certainly not just for "The Owl and the Pussy Cat"

Beautiful wide water, beautiful song and what a beautiful voice. I've never heard Fred Neil before. Thanks for the nice introduction Roger. I just love a voice like that that can fill a room even without a mic.

He brings to my mind another baritone voice that you might know. Here he is singing a song with one of your favorite singers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya2dSRcqLBE (sorry about the quality.)

Hi Karen. Thank you so very much. And, thanks for the fave. Yep, anything that involves Linda is an immediate fave for me :-))) I haven't listened to Hoyt Axton in a mighty long time! I know somewhere I have a Hoyt Axton double cd.....possibly a best of (or similar) collection. I can't believe it was 15 years ago that Hoyt passed away! I really will have to spend time sorting out my music collection and, also, check out his albums on Amazon :-) Thanks, Karen :-)
