Sunday Sounds: Priscilla Herdman

Today's Sunday Sounds is a very personal post. With Thanksgiving Day just behind us, I'm still enjoying a heightened sense of gratitude for all the good things in my life. Family and the beauty that surround me every day are at the top of the list. Friends sit right at the top, too...but I won't use pictures of my friends online without permission, and waking them up on Sunday morning to gather that permission is likely to endanger my friend status. Hence, no friend pics in the video. :)

Enjoy Priscilla Herdman's splendid voice on Raffi's "Thanks a Lot." It's from the album "Stardreamer" and you can pick it up here if you're as delighted by it as we have been. My husband introduced me to this album, and it has been a favorite ever since.

Oh, and the "percussion" you hear in the song is a rocking chair. Nice, huh? Yeah, I think so, too.

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the sun in the sky

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the clouds so high

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the whispering wind

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the birds in the spring

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the moonlit night

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the stars so bright

Thanks a lot

Thanks for wonder in me

Thanks a lot

Thanks for the way that I feel

Thanks for the animals

Thanks for the land

Thanks for the people everywhere

Thanks a lot

Thanks for all I’ve got

Thanks for all I’ve got

    Please listen to Priscilla's newest CD, "Into the Stars," for there she has combined her voice with that of the most voice like of instruments, the cello, and made music that will both break your heart and mend it. And should you ever have the chance to see her perform in person, you will feel yourself truly rewarded and blessed.

  3. IndigoSatin and MoonWolf...I'm glad you enjoyed. I am a big fan of Ms. Herdman, and I love the Raffi song.

    To the anonymous poster and all...I will absolutely listen to (and probably buy) "Into the Stars." I have several of Priscilla's cds and they are all exceptional. A live performance, I'm sure, would be a gift! I've enjoyed her work with Anne Hills and Cindy Mangsen, too. Thank you for pointing me toward "Into the Stars" and I hope you come sing with us here often.
