Setting the record straight, I was in those days a teacher/musician living in Stockbridge VT. Playef in rock bank Joyfull Noise 196u-69 (RCA3963)..Wrote the song thinking about the fact that all the set music to the psalms was lost along the way except the names of some of the forms.
Went on to do international banking living in Chicago area and Switzerland, still write and sing when I get the chance.
Margaret MacArthur was a true folk treasure, taken from us too soon!
