down in the depths...
...of your vocal range! Sounds great, but I'd be curious to hear this up a couple steps. Your very expressive voice might be even further served, especially on the long notes.

In any case, you convey a strong sense of sadness here.
I "enjoyed" listening -- if you know what I mean! ;-)

Folk legend
Caroline,
You sound like an original folk legend on this song. I can picture walking up and seeing you on the porch singing and your sharecropper husband manning the plow in the background. You give this kind of music a real authentic feel.

Folk legend.


Hi caroline
this was very sad -
and i too feel like you sang sometimes- thats what makes this song really beautiful as well. And so pleased to hear that you are well now .
And happy that your song your beautiful sad spiritual song is loved as well by us all here. But my heart goes out to you also at the time you felt so low.

I too though you sounded like an original folk legend
I also agree with Sschedra.

Peace
Dee
