The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face/Maureen Hegarty

[mikeacero]

Been listening to this. Will never get tired of it.

This is the best performance I've heard of this lovely song. How can I tell? It's all in the ability of the singer to make one FEEL the music, and you do that so well, Maureen! As one grandparent to another, I can imagine the delight with which your grandchildren listen to your beautiful singing of traditional songs like this one!

You have a new fan Maureen! I love the naturalness of your voice - not excessive training - beautiful and relaxing and of course stirring of beautiful memories... Thank you for sharing your voice with us. There's a saying: By appreciation we make excellence in others our own property. That's all I can do - appreciate... I am not a performer but I love music. I am going to search for your classical pieces. I have a fixation on classical music. Elsa.

Beautiful!! I can listen to this "all day"

Thank you. I see you have Vic Damone on your channel. When I was a very young girl I was in a choir which toured USA. We appeared on the ED Sullivan show with none other than Vic Damone. He was a lovely person.

Thank you. I like this song. I recorded this in our local BBC Radio station with a number of other songs. Firstly to be used in programmes - then we decided to put the songs on tape and therefore I had my first cassette on sale!!!

[maureenderry]

Thank you sooooooooo much!

Beautiful. I am Danny Hegarty of New York and you do a better job than Gordon Lightfoot. Are you related to the Hegartys of Crossmolina Mayo ?

[maureenderry]

Thank you Danny. I am not related to any Hegarty's in Mayo. My maiden name is McGuinness and my parents were from Donegal.
