Today is Pentecost, celebrating the story of Ezekial and the Holy Spirit breathing life into a valley of disconnected bones. I don't think I've heard or sung this song in forty or fifty years. Here are the Delta Rhythm Boys singing the song the way it should be sung, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYeQUXXYvK0 |

The Old Testament lesson was the story of Ezekiel and the valley of dry bones. Since I assume the valley was the site of an ancient battle or massacre, I have always found this a forbidding tale. However, time passed, and by evening I was in the mood to enjoy the song you linked. Thanks very much. |
