Kiran obviously has great taste in music, Dan!


Kendall, you look and sound wonderful in this video.   Glad this thread was resurrected, since I missed it the first time around.

Kiran's great love is trains,a nd we sometimes watch YouTube videos of steam trains. After watching this he started saying "I want to watch a Hahbah train!"

His Downeast accent is getting better....

I first found this video ten months ago, and it has staying power I wouldn't have believed. I sat down at my computer today and Kiran climbed up on my lap and said, "I want to watch Kendall!"

As we sat and watched, he had the biggest grin on his face you ever saw.

You were going to buy Gordon Bok? I presume you opted for the guitar because it was cheaper.

This is not one of my best, the 12 string guitar was new and it resented the fact that I bought it instead of Gordon Bok.

Well, yes, I know that. But give the kid a break; he's only 1 and a half!

(That's also why it took me a minute....)

Of course, he could have been asking for a song by Abba. But I don't think so.

My son still loves this video. Last night I showed it to him as a way of getting him to drink his bedtime milk (you parent your way and I'll parent mine) and after drinking the milk, he asked for "More Kendall."

This morning he went right to my computer and said, "Kendall?"

After watching the video through he stayed on my lap and said, "Habba!"

Huh?

"Habba. Habba? Habba!"

And then it hit me.

Aw. that's great, Kendall. You should have a copy, and they should have the story. I am eager to see the video clip and hope they leave it there for a while.

Subject: RE: Kendall Morse web video

Date: 27 Dec 08 - 04:16 PM

I sent an e mail to the producer of that clip to advise them that the song is not about the Cape Elizabeth Light, but rather a hymn.
They responded with "What is the real story"? and would I like a DVD of it?

I always try to let the song have center stage, so to speak. Never been one to draw attention to myself. I'm just the conductor, and it's not mine to claim, only to pass along to someone who might like it.

It comes from a sermon illustration by the evangelist Dwight L. Moody. Ed Reese, in his biographical sketch of Philip Bliss:

"One time Mr. Moody was telling the story of a shipwreck in one of his messages. On a dark stormy night, a large passenger boat cautiously edged toward the Cleveland harbor. The pilot knew that he could only find the harbor channel by keeping two lower shore lights in line with the main beacon. "Are you sure this is Cleveland?" asked the captain. "Quite sure, Sir," replied the pilot. "Where are the lower lights?" he asked. "Gone out, Sir!" was the reply. The pilot turned the wheel, but in the darkness, he missed the channel. The boat crashed on the rocks and many lives were lost that night. Mr. Moody's closing words were, "Brethren, the Master will take care of the great lighthouse; let us keep the lower lights burning." At the next meeting with Mr. Moody, Mr. Bliss sang this song... Let the Lower Lights Be Burning. It was published in 1874. It is said that this was the favorite hymn of Billy Sunday."

All I did was hit the link that Dan provided and up it came.

I sent an email to thoughtequity and asked them if I could share this and they said yes. They said go to: www.thoughtequity.com/video/clip/5112799626_105.do

I had to download Flash Player to get it running right.

Everybody's talking as if you could just download it - I got some scary application form in legalese without even an indication of prices, and no obvious download link.

What's the trick?

I was told that that song was written by a lighthouse keeper on one of the great lakes. Is that what you were told? I understand there is another version which I have not heard.

Correction - I know the scary form exists. The link for me goes straight to the video clip.

It still works for me, Jack. I know the scary form is there - Kendall wrote them and made double sure it was okay to post the link.

Dan, you didn't post a link to the video itself, but to a deeply scary form for applying to licence it for umpteen different purposes, with not even a price in sight (I guess if you have to ask you can't afford it).

Does everybody else who's posted here have a direct debit set up with those guys?

Lovely hymn and very nicely sung - thank you Kendall.

Written of course by my namesake and possibly kinsman (though I've not been able to establish the link yet) Philip Paul Bliss, who also wrote Pull for The Shore, and many other greats.

He had a brave and tragic death. Must write a song about him one day.
