May 19, 2011Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA

A highway on the Northern Neck now honors those who have served in U.S. Armed Forces. The entire length of Route 3 in Lancaster County has been designated The Blue Star Memorial Highway by act of the 2011 General Assembly.

A related marker recently erected in the village of Lancaster will be unveiled at 3 p.m. on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 21. Local and state government officials, in addi-tion to local, district, and state garden club officials, and a deco-rated Vietnam veteran will partici-pate in the ceremony commemorat-ing its unveiling and the dedication of the highway, said Rappahannock Garden Club Blue Star project chair-man Aleta Hoffman.

The Mary Ball Washington Museum will be open and will fea-ture a display of WWII uniforms and related items. The public is invited to attend the ceremony, and veterans are especially urged to attend, said Hoffman.

The Rappahannock Garden Club, as member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc., began this project about a year and a half ago in support of the nationwide ribbon of Blue Star Highways established after World War II, she said. These designated highways honor all who have served, are serving, or will serve in the Armed Forces. The 21 miles of Route 3 are part of more than 70,000 throughout the 50 states. The desig-nation of Blue Star Highways was achieved through petitions to the state legislatures and in cooperation with the states’ departments of trans-portation.

Del. Albert Pollard sponsored the bill in the Virginia General Assem-bly to name Route 3 a Blue Star Memorial Highway. HB1735 was signed into law on March 7, 2011, and takes effect July l. The designa-tion does not affect other names for the highway, for example Mary Ball Road or Historyland Highway.

Hoffman said the entire project was a cooperative effort within the club and community. After voting to undertake this project in March 2010, the club received an anony-mous $1,000 check for the bronze marker, and the club voted to fund

Final installment in a six-part series

As Founder’s Day approaches, this series of stories has

reviewed how the library started 50 years ago, and how it has grown in size and outreach.

We’ve seen its space increase from 720 square feet to slightly more than 10,000 square feet, and the hours extend from 10.5 per week to 55 hours per week. We’ve witnessed the paid staff grow from two part-time librarians to three full-time and eight part-time posi-tions.

Meanwhile, the collection has grown from 2,000 books to 60,000 books, tapes, CDs, and DVDs. The Storymobile, started in 1991, trav-els 4,774 miles per year bringing books to children in both Lancaster and Northumberland counties; the number of public use computers has gone from zero to 13; and wire-less internet access is now available to anyone who wants to use it.

None of this growth could have been achieved without the thou-sands of hours contributed by enthusiastic volunteers who per-form many of the jobs done by paid employees in other public libraries.

In the beginning, volunteers col-lected books, ordered books, cata-logued books, repaired books, con-ducted children’s programs, and did anything else required to keep the library going. As the collec-tion grew, volunteers wrote book reviews for this newspaper. As the collection expanded to include books on tape, CDs, videotapes and DVDs, volunteers repaired them (and continue to repair them) when they were damaged.

When computers were purchased, Jerry Hamm stepped up to coordi-nate installation and software, a job he did for more than 10 years. Vol-unteers work at the circulation desk answering questions and checking books in and out. The Friends of the Library hold book sales twice

The Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library in Lancaster will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 21.

In honor of Armed Forces Day and the Blue Star Memorial Highway dedication, the museum will display World War I and II uniforms and arti-facts from its collections, including items from the Marsh, Peirce, Chilton, Lankford, Henley, Gordon, Taft, Abbott and Cox families, said executive director Karen Hart.

Visitors also may view exhibits in Lancaster House on the history of the county’s courts and courthouses, colonial and early American home furnish-ings, and a large dollhouse filled with antique-style miniatures, said Hart. The historic 1797 Clerk’s Office and 1820 jail will be open for self-guided tours.

There is a $3 suggested donation for admission to the museum exhibits and buildings, she siad. The genealogy and history library also will be avail-able to researchers for a $5 daily use fee.

Following the open house, the public is invited to walk nearby to the Blue Star Memorial Highway marker unveiling by the Rappahannock Garden Club at 3 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church.

The Blue Star became a popular symbol in World War II and was dis-played on flags and banners in homes and windows to signify sons and daughters away at war, said Hart. The national Blue Star Memorial High-way program now honors all past, current, and future members of the U.S. Armed Services.

a year after sorting, storing, and categorizing hundreds of books donated by the community. The library board, elected by the mem-bership, supervises the budget, the endowment, and the facility’s over-all management. Not one of these people is paid.

Although it might be possible, by combing through 50 years of records, to collect fairly accurate figures for the number of volunteers who have worked at the library for the past 50 years, the task would be daunting. A very safe, and proba-bly low, average estimate, however, based on stories in this newspaper and sundry board meeting minutes, would be 60 per year. Sixty vol-unteers per year for 50 years is an astonishing amount of labor hap-pily provided for free. It is also a testament to the fact that the library is a rewarding place to volunteer.

On Sunday, May 22, the library will be celebrating Founder’s Day to honor the past and look forward to the future. From 4 to 6 p.m., come to the library and tour the original library building (all 720 square feet), see pictures from the early days, tour the Storymobile and the library, record your own library story on a flip camera, look at exhibits (including one for the library of the future), ask questions (of volunteers and staff), enjoy music by Mary and the Janes, have refreshments in a tent on the grounds, and sign up for a chance to win one of three Nook e-book readers.

If you are not a user of the library, come and see why you should be. If you are a user of the library, come and have fun. Be sure to bring the kids. They will love it, and you might win a Nook.

Cake will be served at the Founder’s Day Open House from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday, May 22, at the Lancaster Community Library at 235 School Street in Kilmarnock.

the remaining cost.The next step involved the Vir-

ginia Department of Highways district roadside manager Larry Morris, who came down from Fred-ericksburg to approve site selection, said Hoffman. Since the marker site was in the right-of-way in front of Trinity Episcopal Church, the club

sought and received the approval of the church.

In the event of rain, the ceremony will take place in the Church Parish Hall. Setup and refreshments for the ceremony are being furnished by local merchants. A local Boy Scout troop will assist in setting up and cleanup.

Shane Cooley will hold a bene-fit concert for Zoar Baptist Church from 7-9 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, at Deltaville Ballpark. There will be no admission fee. A love offering will be taken during the concert.

Zoar Baptist Church was destroyed by the April 16 tornado that hit Deltaville. Proceeds from the concert will go toward the church’s rebuilding effort.

Cooley recently completed his “Home Sweet Home Coast to Coast Tour” where he performed 49 shows in 45 days.

“When I heard about a tornado hitting so close to home, it shook me up,” said Cooley. “It’s a wake-up call when a natural disaster is at your doorstep. A few days after the tornado hit, I drove to Del-taville to witness the devastation, and seeing Zoar Church’s destruc-tion was particularly awe-striking.

Cooley, 23, of Rocky Neck is a graduate of Rappahannock High School and the College of William & Mary.

He recently received second place for “Best Male Artist” in the International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA). He has recorded several full-length albums, includ-ing the folk-rock CD “West Land,” released this year.

Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury will host its final Viewpoints 2011 presentation at 11 a.m. June 6. Christopher Kilmartin, associate professor of psychology at the University of Mary Washington, will com-bine lecture and story-telling in an entertaining look at “Guy Fi: The Fictions that Rule Men’s Lives.”

Kilmartin will focus on what he calls the “toxic messages that men get from our culture,” according to vice president for development Whiz Harris. Men are pressured to experience themselves and behave in certain ways. Some of these expecta-tions can lead men to violence, and only by learning to resist social pressures can men resist the temptation to conform to gender-related expectations.

An expert on gender and vio-lence prevention, Kilmartin has a doctorate in counseling psy-chology and is a licensed clini-cal psychologist, said Harris. He is the author of several stud-ies about male violence toward women.

The presentations will be held in the RW-C auditorium at 132 Lancaster Drive off Old Salem Road near Irvington. A compli-mentary buffet luncheon will follow the lecture. Reservations are required. Call 438-4000 on or after May 23.

Rebecca Elston and Kathie Truxall, co-chairs of the Chesapeake Bay Garden Club Standard Flower Show, invite the public to this free exhibit at Rice’s Hotel/Hughlett’s Tavern at 73 Monument Place in Heathsville.

Author Brad Parks of Middlesex will review his second mystery, Eyes of the Innocent, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 24, at the Books Alive Program at Northumber-land Public Library at 7204 Northumberland Highway in Heathsville.

Parks last year introduced Books Alive to his protago-nist Carter Ross, an inves-tigative reporter for the fic-tional Newark, N.J., Eagle-Examiner who ends up solving a quadruple homi-cide mystery, said coordina-tor Nancy Fuchs. That book, Faces of the Gone, earned a Shamus Award for best first mystery and a Nero award for best American mystery.

Carter Ross returns to

The Rappahannock Art League will host an art forum at 1 p.m. Monday, May 23, at the Studio Gallery at 19 North Main Street in Kilmarnock.

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts curatorial fellow of modern and contemporary art Emily Smith will present “Why Is That Art?” The public is invited to attend.

Looking at modern art can often be challenging, said member Virginia Adair. It always raises questions, even among the most knowledgeable viewers―What is an abstract painting “of ”? How do you determine if some-thing is “good”?

A close look at the history of modern art, dating from roughly 1870 through 1950, demonstrates changes that occurred, chiefly that art became more abstract, were not arbitrary, but rather developed along deliberate paths, said Adair.

Artists were not working in a vacuum, but were respond-ing to changes in technology like the development of pho-tography, cultural moments like the industrial revolution and World Wars I and II, as well as the artists and move-ments that preceded them, she said.

Smith will draw on the VMFA’s collection to chrono-logically show important moments in modern art help to address the questions, said Adair.

The program has been organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Office of Statewide Partnerships and is funded in part by the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.

Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity will accept applications for homeownership from May 15, 2011, through June 15, 2011.

Garden Club decorating the Tavern for this event,” said Tavern operations director Ellen Hollows.

The carriage house, also known as Leo’s Livery, will showcase restored vehicles decked out with additional floral designs, said Trux-all. The Transportation Museum Building also will contain exhibits and a large display of horticulture.

“This horticulture exhibit is a very important part of the show as it is an opportunity for the public to view the plant material that grows well at this time

of year in the Northern Neck” said Truxall.

“Our garden club mem-bers are enthusiastically sharing their knowledge and varied talents to pro-duce an extraordinary show among the fascinating ele-ments of this historic site,” added Truxall. “We are grateful for the enthusi-asm and cooperation of the staff and volunteers here at the Tavern, which is being reflected in the efforts of our club members as we work together to produce a show of this distinction and magnitude.”

co-workers, Ross encoun-ters bribery, corruption and urban house-flipping, not to mention admiration from Sweet Thang, as he unravels the real story.

“There’s no better title for this series than ‘Books Alive,’ because this is one of the liveliest groups I speak to all year, ” said Parks.

The third and fourth books in the Carter Ross series are finished, under contract, and awaiting publication.

A discussion, book sign-ing and refreshments will follow the review. Books Alive is a free program sponsored by the Nor-thumberland Friends of the Library. For directions, call Fuchs at 453-7074.

Kilmarnock, VA

BU R G E S S — Ti ff a ny Randolph Cockrell of Bur-gess, founder of Tiffany Yachts Inc., caring husband and father who was a friend to all, especially his chil-dren, died peacefully at his home on May 13, 2011.

Mr. Cockrell was born July 16, 1921, to the late Otis C. W. and Fannie May Cockrell.

Much of his youth was spent harvesting seafood from the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Here he developed his love of boats and the water. He and his father built Chesapeake Bay deadrise workboats.

Mr. Cockrell served in the United States Navy from 1942 to 1945 where he became chief carpen-ter’s mate and learned boat repair and design of plan-ning hulls. He was recalled during the Korean conflict where he was an instruc-tor at the Damage Control School in Philadelphia. He completed his military ser-vice in the United States Coast Guard Reserve.

Upon his return from World War II, he began building pleasure boats utilizing knowledge gained during his Navy career. In the ensuing years, Mr. Cockrell built over 150 yachts, many of which are still used and loved by their owners.

While a lover of wood, he kept pace with technology

and modern methods. In the ensuing years he was joined by his children and grand-children who now run the family business.

In 2010, a fire destroyed the main shop he had spent a lifetime building. Fortu-nately, he lived to see the new modern facility com-pleted.

He was a member of Fairfields United Method-ist Church in Burgess. He was a mentor to many area youth from Cub Scouts to training in boat repair and construction.

Mr. Cockrell is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Lee Jones Cockrell; a son, T. Randolph Cockrell Jr. and his wife, Hoppie; a daugh-ter, Rebecca C. Jones and her husband, Rex; a son, Odis B. Cockrell and his wife, Ruthie; nine grand-children, Laura, Taylor, Sarah, Greg, Kacie, Nick, Cathy, Caren and Emily; and eight great-grandchil-dren, Hallie, Anne, Caden, Avery, Claire, Tyler, Will and Graham.

A memorial service was held May 15 at Faulkner Family Funeral Home in Burgess.

Donations may be made to the RGH Cancer Center Swift-Walker Fund, 101 Harris Drive, Kilmarnock, VA 22482, or Fairfields Volunteer Fire Department, P.O. Box 656, Burgess, VA 22432.

Online remembrances may be made at faulkner-familyfuneralhome.com.

KILMARNOCK—Ada Katherine Kelley Hudnall, 97, of Kilmarnock died May 14, 2011. She was the widow of Alfred Armstead “Nick” Hudnall Sr. and the daughter of the late John William and Mary Gertrude Hurst Kelley.

Mrs. Hudnall was a Lan-caster County school teacher for 35 years.

Surviving are two sons and daughters-in-law, Alfred A. Jr. and Deborah Dallas Hudnall of North Carolina, and John Palmer and Sandra Harper Hudnall of Mechanics-ville; four grandchildren, Kelley E. Hudnall, John Palmer Jr. and wife Maria Lovell Hudnall, Andrea Hudnall and husband Robert Glen Kish and William Armstead Hudnall; six great-grandchildren, John P. III, Justin and Joseph Hud-nall, and Alisabeth, Andrew and Jordan Kish.

Funeral services were held May 18 at the Currie Funeral Home in Kilmarnock with the Rev. Ray Massie officiating. Interment was in Historic Christ Church Cemetery near Weems.

Memorials may be made to Bluff Point United Method-ist Church, 77 Kent Cove Road, Kilmarnock, VA 22482, or Northumberland Historical Society, P. O. Box 221, Heaths-ville, VA 22473.

E DWA R D S V I L L E —Jimmie Lee Woodie, 75, of Edwardsville died May 9, 2011. He was a member of Smithland Baptist Church in Heathsville.

Mr. Woodie served in the U.S. Navy and retired from Carolina Freight after 26 years as a driver.

He also was a member of the Northern Neck Middle Peninsula Parkinson’s Sup-port Group in Irvington.

He was preceded in death by his son, Lee Woodie.

He is survived by Bette S. Sisk; daughter, Kelly Reed of Houston, Texas;

sons, Michael Woodie of Middleburg, Fla., and Steve Hildebran of Lenoir, N.C.; adopted daughter, Michelle Sexton of Greensville, S.C.; sisters, Peggy Wilkes of Hickory, N.C., and Dean Noak of Houston, Texas; and five grandchildren.

A memorial service was held May 14 at 323 Seagull Lane in Heathsville. A memorial service also will be held at Boiling Springs Baptist Church in Purlear, N.C., at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memo-rial contributions may be made to the Hospice of Virginia, P. O. Box 2098, Tappahannock, VA 22560.

The Bethel-Emmanuel United Methodist Men will con-duct the 22nd annual Memorial Day Ceremony at 9 a.m. Monday, May 30, at Bethel United Methodist Church on White Chapel Road near Lively.

If weather permits, the ceremony will be held outside near the cemetery, said Robert V. Smart.

The speaker will be retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Fred A. Hilder Jr., said Smart. The service will last about 45 min-utes.

“A wreath will be placed in honor of those men and women, especially those associated with Bethel-Emmanuel United Methodist Charge, who have served in the armed forces,” said Smart.

Robbie Spiers will play the “Call to Colors” and “Taps.” A roll call of deceased servicemen associated with the charge will be read by members of the men’s group and the men’s chorus will sing “Holy Land,” accompanied by Deborah Revere.

“We invite the public to join us for a few minutes this Memorial Day to honor those who have served and are serving to defend this country,” said Smart.

The annual Memorial Day service honoring America’s military personnel, with spe-cial reference to those who made the supreme sacrifice in service to the nation, will be hosted by the Northern Neck Chapter of the Mili-tary Officers Association of America (MOAA) and the Reedville American Legion Post 117.

The service will be held at 11 a.m. Memorial Day, May 30, at Christ Church near Weems. The Rev. David H. May will be the officiant, MOAA president Col. Jack Reaville will preside and the featured speaker with be retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Paul Galanti.

Others participating in the ceremony will include the Lancaster High School Junior ROTC color guard, organist Lawrence Goddard from Campbell Presbyterian Church and buglers Robbie Spiers and Glen Burtner.

The designated honor-ees will be former Vir-ginia Governor and retired U.S. Navy Capt. Linwood Holton, representing the MOAA, and World War II veteran, retired Petty Officer 2nd Class Reggie Shaw rep-resenting American Legion Chapter 117. Both of them will present the traditional wreath honoring those who have fallen, said retired Col. Mike Kenna of MOAA.

Cmdr. Galanti attended the U.S. Naval Academy and flight school training at Pen-sacola, Fla. Following com-pletion of advanced training in November 1963, he was a flight instructor in Pen-sacola. In November 1964, he joined Navy Light Jet

Attack Squadron 216 (VA-216) based aboard the car-rier, USS Hancock, which departed for Southeast Asia in November 1965.

Galanti flew 97 combat missions in his A-4 Sky-hawk before being shot down and captured on June 17, 1966. He remained a prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese for nearly seven years and was released on February 12, 1973.

Following rehabilitation at Portsmouth Naval Hos-pital, he served as execu-tive officer of the Richmond Recruiting District.

He received a master’s of commerce from the Univer-sity of Richmond in 1976 and became commanding officer of the Richmond Recruiting District. In July 1979, he moved to Annap-olis in the Office of the Commandant at the Naval Academy, responsible for the military and leadership training of 750 academy midshipmen.

He medically retired from the Navy and became the

first nonpharmacist execu-tive director of the Virginia Pharmaceutical Associa-tion in 1983. He joined the Medical Society of Virginia staff in 1991, and became the executive vice president of the society January 1, 1993.

In 2000, he served as the Virginia campaign direc-tor for Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid.

He is active in the Amer-ican Ex-Prisoners of War service organization and remains active in Virginia politics.

He was inducted into the Virginia Aviation Hall of Fame in November 2005. A replica of his A-4C from VA-216 is on display at the Virginia Aviation Museum in Richmond.

Calvary Baptist Church near Christchurch in Middlesex County will host an ordination service for associate minister Pearl Gresham Blake at 4 p.m. Sunday, May 22. The Rev. Paul S. Pleasants is pastor.

Gresham Blake recently graduated with honors from Virginia Univer-sity of Lynchburg with a bachelor’s in religious studies. She also was named “Student of the Year.”

She is the daughter of J. Emmett Gresham Sr. and the late Mamie Lee (King) Gresham of Locust Hill, the mother of Ervin (Carla) Blake Jr. (EJ) of Jamaica and Pervis O. Blake of Newport News, and grand-mother of Jordan Lee and Brittany.

Gresham Blake is the owner of Heavenly Hands Massage by Pearl in Locust Hill and Cobbs Creek.

“I want to give thanks to all for their prayers and assistance in studies and special recognition to Rose King as a traveling companion to Lynchburg,” said Gresham Blake.

In April 2010, he was appointed by Gov. Bob McDonnell as the Commis-sioner of Veterans Services for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

His personal decora-tions include the Silver Star, combat awards of two Legions of Merit and the Bronze Star, nine combat Air Medals and two Purple Hearts.

The new education center at the Virginia War Memo-rial is named for Paul and Phyllis Galanti.

The service at Christ Church is open to all per-sons wishing to attend and who desire to show their appreciation for the sacri-fices by the members or the nation’s armed forces, said Col. Kenna.

Simple gifts

The recent constant barrage of horrendous news of cataclys-

mic destruction from floods, fires and tornados has reminded me that too much of who and what I am is defined by possessions, worry-clut-ter, collections of this and that, over which I am far too attached. Getting back to a simpler life is a noble goal for all of us.

Every time I write, preach or dis-cuss with friends, family and col-leagues about striving to be a heav-enly citizen on loan to this Earth, the tune “Simple Gifts” sweeps over me. Oh, yes, it is often medicine to my heart.

So let’s all land on the same stage by at least read-ing this plain poem together. I wish we could mutually listen to some of the fabu-lous recordings made pop-ular across the years.

“’Tis the gift to be simple, ‘tis the gift to be free,

‘Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

It will be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained, To bow and to bend we shan’t be

ashamed. To turn, turn will be our delight, ‘Til by turning, turning, we come

round right.‘Tis the gift to be loved and that

love to return,‘Tis the gift to be taught and a

richer gift to learn, And when we expect of others

what we try to live each day, Then we’ll all live together and

we’ll all learn to say:‘Tis the gift to have friends and a

true friend to be.‘Tis the gift to think of others not

to only think of ‘me,’ And when we hear what others

really think and really feel, Then we’ll all live together with a

love that is real.” The tune was given to us by Elder

Joseph Brackett Jr., born on May 6, 1797, in Cumberland, Maine. He

died on July 4, 1882, in the com-munity of Sabbath Day Lake, New Gloucester, Maine.

He wrote Simple Gifts in 1848. It was first published in The Gift to be Simple: Shaker Rituals and Songs. Simple Gifts also was believed to be a work song sung by the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, an offshoot of the Quakers more com-monly called the Shakers, a sect of Christianity that practiced their faith, in part, by song and dance.

Of course, we Baptists allegedly have a traditional stance against

dancing. Yet dancing seems a well-documented practice in our Jewish Old Testament traditions. Actu-ally I wish we Baptists weren’t so well-known for what we profess to be against, rather to be admired for those things of Christ for which we stand aright.

“Simple Gifts” became an orches-tral suite turned ballet score for the 1944 “Appalachian Spring” by Aaron Copland, a child of Lithu-anian Jewish parents. Copland (1900-1990) was a New York state American composer already famous for his bright American sound by the time he was in his mid 30s. Cop-land’s music is so distinctive that it breathes the freshness of the Ameri-can plains, mountains and coastal regions as over against traditional classical music, which our ancestors brought over from the concert halls and opera houses of the Old World. Might we say that his work is classi-cal music filtered through jazz?

Whilst ballerina Martha Graham (1894-1991) starred in Appalachian Spring I was just beginning to crawl about grandmother Farmer’s lino-leum kitchen floor. Graham, a pio-

neer interpreter of American dance themes, was the 1976 Kennedy Center Presidential Medal of Free-dom recipient. My ears later still met the theme tune Simple Gifts while listening to the radio, which graced our Lawson Street living room.

Former Boston Pops conductor and legendary film composer John Williams most recently adapted the tune, as “Air and Simple Gifts,” which was premiered during the Inauguration of our 44th U.S. Presi-dent, Barack Obama, on January 20, 2009. Cellist Yo-yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman, clarinetist Anthony

McGill and pianist Gabri-ela Montero performed it on the U.S. Capitol steps in Washington, D.C. I later learned that it had been pre-recorded for television, as those instruments would be notoriously out of tune with each other on that brisk January day.

Most of us grew acquainted with John Williams through the score he wrote which made the American movie Star Wars Trilogy so illustratively exciting.

“Simple Gifts” is an internation-ally loved song. Rock and Roll famers, church choirs, folk artists and even the Grammy Award King’s Singers have released renditions of this beautiful melody.

Well, it is not really a hymn, rather a dance tune. The beauty of the mes-sage and tune haunts me. Many of the songs over which we all seem to have some overriding spiritual hunger are not in actual fact church songs, rather heart songs. A good number of the popular old world hymns were poems, sermons and ethical teachings married to life tunes—those sung in and around family outings, work related tasks and public taverns.

That line, “’Tis the gift to be simple, ‘tis the gift to be free,” stretches my faith and too often embarrasses me.
