This is one of my favorite artists, Karine Polwart, singing "Follow the Heron Home." I first heard this sung on Ocracoke Island by singer Rick Lee, and I have loved it ever since. Rick set up his keyboard in the corner of Philip's small house. As the evening wore on, it appeared to be his turn to perform. With his eyes closed, and so much emotion in his voice, he sang this song. I cried all the way through it.
My guitar teacher has actually written it down for me to learn, but alas, we all know how the guitar playing seems to go.
So on this snowy Friday, enjoy the music of Karine Polwart.
