It was a very moving song. I do not know if it is old or new, or who the male artist was that performed it. Unfortunately, Radio Newfoundland does not provide a playlist so you never know what or who you are listening to. However they have some of the best folk music on the net. SOL ZELLER |

30 Jun 06 - 08:36 PM (#1773172) Subject: Lyr Add: BY THE GLOW OF THE KEROSENE LIGHT From: GUEST BY THE GLOW OF THE KEROSENE LIGHT (Wince Coles) I remember the time when my grandpa and I Would sit by the fire at night And I listened to stories of how he once lived By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. He said Mom and Dad send me off to school Where I learned how to read and to write And they listened for hours As I read from my books By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. Your grandma and I we were wed at 16 Lord she was a beautiful sight And proudly I placed the ring on her hand By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. About one year later, your daddy was born And your grandma held my hand so tight On I can't tell the joy as she brought forth new life By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. But having her child, it did weaken her so She just wasn't up to the fight For she looked so peaceful she went to her rest By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. Then as now the times they were hard To succeed you would try all your might And sometimes love bloomed and sometimes dreams die By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. By the glow of the kerosene light. |

The song has been getting a lot of air play, probably because of the most excellent lead vocal by Wayne Parsons, but the entire group is worth a good listen on their debut CD. :-) |

And also in 2011 by a group called "The Once": There's also a recording by a group called Hermitage Green: They're all good, but my favorite is by the group called "The Once." -Joe- |
