Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
ok, doesn't anyone remember buffy sainte-marie? she actually wrote a bunch of mainstream songs
("until it's time for you to go", "up where we belong",
yet so many people have NEVER heard of her!!
her writing is amazing.
i have a songbook of hers ,which is 30 years old,
and has an extensive collection of her songs, yet "the angel" is not in it.
really a beatiful song, and i couldn't find the lyrics online anywhere,
and they weren't included on her "best of" cd's , either.
so i had to listen, and type, and listen, and type...
and i'm pretty sure these chords are right.
but if you know better, please feel free to email me with any corrections.

cheers.
