      I wonder if Linda Ronstadt must shed the odd tear to listen to Judith, still able to sing so well at a similar age, when sadly Linda no longer can. I love them both.

      Perhaps ironically, I've never found a single verse in the Bible that confirms angels can even sing at all. They can proclaim, but that's not singing. If I am assessing that accurately, then Judith was gifted with a voice that far surpasses any angelic being in either Heaven or earth.

In fact, I've never found a scripture that says they can dance, either. After all, the Bible does tell us that there are a number of things we humans can do that angels would like to look into. They can do what we cannot, and we can do what they cannot. Bottom line: I'm just thankful we're all on the same side.

    "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" was the first big hit of The Springfields, which catapulted Dusty Springfield to stardom. Her brother, Tom, subsequently became the primary songwriter for the Seekers, penning "Georgy Girl," "I'll Never Find Another You," "The Carnival is Over," and "A World of Our Own."
    So, it's fitting they recorded this in their last session together.

    Didn’t know Bruce Woodley could play the banjo. But great job as usual, Seekers.
