The deacon mentioned that he recently found an old 45 RPM record in his basement. It dated back to his teenage years and featured a version of the Lord's Prayer sung by an Australian nun that had made it onto the Billboard Top 100 chart.
I had never heard of the song or Janet Mead, the singer. The associate priest wasn't even born then. However, he searched on his phone and shortly we were all listening to the song.
The deacon called it folk music. I think it's more of a pop-rock tune. Whatever the style, it's a catchy tune that I can't get it out of my head.

I love that he used his phone to look it up. Phones, those mini computers. Love the pancake tray bake!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing that we have immediate access to just about any facts?
DeleteGood song and breakfast sounded good.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. There are 10 video versions of this on YouTube. This one is 3 years old. there is one that is 10 years old. But this one has all the credits of people that did a 12 song album.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Wikipedia page for Janet Mead there were several iterations of the song. And the song's heyday was long before the age of videos.
DeleteThank you Kathy, you brought back memories. I used to play this song on my Christian Radio Program "Time for Reflections". I'd forgotten who sang it.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I had wondered if you might be familiar with it!
DeleteI think it's great, with all the time you spend cooking there, that every once in a while you get a chance to sit down and talk and get to know each other a little better.
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely one of the nice parts of the job.
