I don't quite know why, but I've been thinking a lot about "Amazing Grace" recently. Lots of connections to it, but the one that keeps coming to mind is going with my BFF to a memorial service for a colleague of hers from the Oregon City library where this was a part. A kind of non-descript chapel with light flooding the space, no accompaniment, just maybe a couple of dozen people singing it.
Here's Judy Collins's first recording of the hymn from her 1970 album Whales and Nightingales.
