Shenandoah

This is my third recording of this great American evergreen, the first two being on my 2005 CD "The Enchanted Woods" and Tom Paxton’s 2009 CD/DVD "Live at Huntingdon Hall." I like the idea of continuing to re-record it from time to time as an ongoing musical diary, since this arrangement seems to have a life of its own; it continues to grow and evolve through the years and I make new discoveries every time I play it. This song, for all its apparent simplicity, is surely one of the most profound pieces of music America has given to the world.
