Today, Jan 19th, just after 11AM on Sunday Edition's third hour, the CBC has an interview with Steve Turner, the author of Amazing Grace: the story of America's Favourite Song. This is a book on the background of Amazing Grace and John Newton. There are some amazing clips of people who have sung the song. This discussion mentions John and Alan Lomax's collecting trips in the South.

One of the clips is Amazing Grace sung to the tune of House of the Rising Sun. Also covered is how the tune became a bagpipe standard.
