That song which, for you, epitomizes the ideal song to sing... the one that falls out so easily and smoothly that it just makes you feel good to sing it, no matter what mood you are in. It will be a completely subjective opinion, of course, and you should feel that you do it justice in you singing of it.

There aree lots of songs I like doing and feel I do them well, but for me there is one that I have been doing longest and best. It was one of the first I learned to sing by ear with my old guitar. No contest.

It's Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain".

I still do it the way I first learned it, slow and soulful (but with the wrong chords I found when I got the songbook later). But I almost never play it for others. It's for me.
