It features short interviews (~4 mins) with singers and songwriters about songs. Among the interviewees are Ian Tyson (on writing "Four Strong Winds"), Elizabeth LaPrelle (on the power and simplicity of "Black is the Color"), a Virginia preacher on the feeling the spirit in leading "Beulah Land"... etc. Worth browsing. ~ Becky in Long Beach |
