Now Is The Hour (Live) -- Hayley Westenra (ヘイリー) (海莉)

[saxier1]

I was born in Christchurch in 1956, left for Australia in the 1960's and this was the song they played at the docks when the Wanganella sailed out of Wellington. That was a very long time ago, but Hayley's version sure stirred some memories for me. Australia is where I live, but NZ will always be my home.
