I've Got A River of Life - sung by Jack Marti

We were at one of our favorite blue holes yesterday, and I thought this would be a perfect setting for this song. We had to hike in a couple of miles, so I brought my little Spanish guitar (made in Spain, circa 1960s) which is about the size of a baritone ukulele, but it's got a pretty nice tone. Anyway, hope you like it!

I've got a river of life
Flowin' out of me!
Makes the lame to walk
And the blind to see!
Opens prizon doors
Sets the captives free!
I've got a river of life
Flowin' out of me!

Spring up, O well,
Within my soul!
Spring up, O well,
And make me whole!
Spring up, O well,
And give to me
That life abundantly!

Such a rich sound from such a small little wooden box.

@joroma77 Isn't it, though? I was actually quite surprised @ how good it sounded. And the thing is, there's nothing obviously special about the guitar itself. It's made entirely of laminates. It's a true Spanish guitar, though, having been made in Spain. Maybe it's the kind of laminates it's made from, and the fact that it appears to have been hand made, at least to a certain extent. It's hard 2 say. I'm sure it's improved with age, having been made in the early 60s. Who knows? But you're right.
