Cheryl Wheeler singing 75 Septembers, the song she wrote for her father's 75th birthday. Singing with her is John Gorka from their concert Saturday, April 18th at the Performing Arts Center in Columbus, Ohio
Cheryl played this at the Cafe Carpe in Fort Atkinson Wisconsin, 1994 95. It is a grand salute to our farmer forbears who saw the change from rural to urban in the forst half of the last century. A remarkably powerful song.
B E A U T I F U L ! Makes me cry each time I hear - bitter-sweet tears with memories both good and bad! Her voice gives me chills - I'm an alto and can't hit the high notes, but I like to sing it anyway.
First time I heard her sing it: exactly 9 years ago, right there in Columbus Ohio. I was back home for my fatjhers 75th birthday. I cried my eyes out.
The first time I saw Cheryl Wheeler play this song was at the Cafe Carpe in Fort Atkinson Wisconsin. Quite simply it brought tears to my eyes, change a few words and it captured the essence of my grandfather and my father, thank you Cheryl; thank you marcm1210!
Just magic....

I think I first heard this song from Peter Paul & Mary ... truly beautiful.
Cheryl's voice is always so soothing.
