These Wide Waters

Last July…

I spent the better part of a Wednesday morning and early afternoon in the emergency room of my local hospital.

Our 14-year-old family station wagon was suddenly reduced to a nearly-worthless pile of spare parts, scrap metal and junk.

The first verse of “The Water Is Wide” kept running through my head.

How could I not get an idea for a new song?

I finished the song in time to play and sing it for my wife on the occasion of our wedding anniversary in August.

And now that I’ve lived with it, recorded it, listened to it, played and sung it enough, I’m ready to share “These Wide Waters” with you.

I hope that you enjoy the song.
