The CD "Sara" is on the Harbourtown label cat No HARCD 028.

Sara gets really annoyed when people refer to the song as a Van Morrison song! The sleeve notes say that it was an old Carolina hymn.

For the record, I'm the guy singing harmony in the background. I learned the words in Sara's car on the way to the recording studio! The fastest song I've ever learned I think.

The version we sing is very similar to the words stated above with just a couple of words altered but that's oral tradition for you.

Best wishes

Mark
