jumpergirl 0 #3 December 26, 2005 You bet! There are other songs that do the same, but that is definitely in the top of the list. Hmmm... Amazing Grace Star Spangled Banner When Eagles Fly I can't think of others right now... but yes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ltdiver 3 #4 December 26, 2005 I know what you mean. My memory goes back to when about 100 blind campers sang it together. (I was an employee at a summer camp where one week out of the summer we had set aside for blind campers....of all ages). I cried when they sang the line, "Was blind, but now I see". They were the most wonderful people in the world. They continually amazed us on how independent they were. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites leroydb 0 #5 December 26, 2005 everytime i hear it, especially bagpipes at a funeral... or taps on bugle, liveLeroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Amazon 7 #12 December 26, 2005 Heck yes But the most amazing playing of Amazing grace I have ever heard was with some friends. We had hiked up to the foot of the glaciers on the northwest side of Mt Adams in Washington State. The foot of the glacier is about 8000 ft on the 13,000 ft mountain. Just below the glacier there are huge fields of heather and in June it was in full bloom. As the sun began to set off to the NW it seemed to set the glacier on fire with the alpineglow of the long red rays of the setting sun on the glacier itself. Just then we heard someone just over a ridge start to pipe the sun down with bagpipes.. very soft and lilting in the high mountain air.... a rendition of Amazing Grace I will never forget.
