If you hear 'an echo' then turn off one of
these two media players.
Nancy
playing and Bruce harmonizing --- an 1854 Hymn --- "Work, For the Night is
Coming"
Being as old as it is, this hymn is destined for
inclusion in "Raisins and Almonds--- A Civil War
Story"
So close your eyes for a
moment or two. The scene is John's Church in Middleton, Ohio in the early
1860's.
Emily is playing and John is
singing. It's a time they share together--- a time that John would think about more than once
while a Union prisoner of
war within the walls of Libby Prison in Richmond, VA,
1864-65. Few would survive, but John did--- for awhile--- and then some.
