Tribute To The Seekers ~ Kumbaya

Tribute To The Seekers

The Seekers were a group of Australian folk-influenced popular musicians which was formed in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1962. They were the first Australian popular music group to achieve significant chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Their most famous configuration was:

Judith Durham: lead vocals
Athol Guy: double bass, vocals
Keith Potger: twelve string guitar, banjo, vocals
Bruce Woodley: guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals

They had nine hits in Britain and Australia in the 1960s: "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World of Our Own", "The Carnival Is Over" (which The Seekers have sung at various closing ceremonies in Australia, including Expo '88 and the Paralympics), "Someday One Day", "Walk With Me", "Morningtown Ride", "Georgy Girl" (the title song of the film of the same name), "When Will the Good Apples Fall" and "Emerald City".

Bruce Woodley and Dobe Newton's "I Am Australian", which has been recorded by The Seekers, and by singer Judith Durham with Russell Hitchcock and Mandawuy Yunupingu, has become an unofficial Australian anthem.

The "Wit of Judith Durham": The opening notes of "Kumbaya"

Refer to - young Judith's - "All I Can Remember".

"Kumbaya" is a Southern tongue meaning, "Come by here, my Lord".

"Come with love". The verses are sung by Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts

 around the campfires.

With loving eyes & heart,

Peter (Jamieson).

A Jamieson Smile: The "Timbre" (the Spiritual Color & Tone ) of Judith Durham. The Timbre (color & tone) of the Gospel. "Someone's singing Lord." "Someone's crying Lord." To Walk in: (1) "loving Kindness", to walk in (2) "love" & to walk with (3) "a sound mind" is to walk with the Lord. These are the key traits of Charity. May Judith walk in the Comfort of the Lord, forever, Amen. Veritas, Peter (Jamieson). PS Judith does have a wit. The opening notes... Refer to: "All I Can Remember".
