Sunday Drive: In the Garden

The old familiar hymn, often heard at funerals in the South because - "it was Mama's/Daddy's favorite." Alan Jackson has just the right warm, rich baritone for it.

Hymology Archive provides a well-researched essay on the origin of the hymn.

No offense, but just not my cup of tea.

It's a very dear song to me - I had it played at the funeral of my darling mama. It might be played at mine one day.

But tastes differ. Try the espresso shop next door.
