Just setting up this page to share with you a little live music by my favorite band
and some of my favorite people in the (New Mexico) area,
ELLIOTT'S RAMBLERS

Recorded live at the one music event I never miss,
the Sunday morning gospel show at the
Santa Fe Traditional & Bluegrass Music Festival (late August),
always hosted by selfsame ELLIOTT'S RAMBLERS,
whose own website is here

This music live or on CD is great to lean back, light some candles and relax to.

So here's the concert video. (Windows Media)
It's 28.7 mb (14 min, 32 seconds) a big download but worth it!


(If you want to see a tiny sampler of another appearance, first,
before getting committed to a 28 mb download, click here)

(Both of these videos featured at the website, Santa Fe Shorts)

1. "Little Black Train" (end only) (trad. gospel)
2. "Heaven" (an original by Elliott) (lyrics below)
3. "Swing Down Chariot" (trad. gospel)
4. "A Closer Walk with Thee" (trad. gospel)
(please excuse harmonies by videographer)

Hope to have more later on - let me know if you'd like to see more.

Sometimes I'd drop in on Mother
To see if there was something I might do.
I'd try and help keep the house up
And do the things she couldn't do.
Sometimes I'd just sit and listen,
And lordy how the hours seemed to fly.
And when I'd leave she'd smile and sweetly wave goodbye

Heaven
Oh how Id love to go there
And visit with my mother
And to make sure that she's happy up in Heaven
I'd tell her that I love her
And how much we all miss her
Since she's gone way up there.


She'd love to hear all my stories
And all the different places I have been.
She'd send me cards on my birthday
I just found out she kept every one of them
She could play the bells of St. Mary
And sing you the sweetest lullaby.
Sometimes when I'd fail she'd smile and say,
"Well at least you tried."

Heaven
Oh how Id love to go there
And visit with my mother
And to make sure that she's happy up in Heaven
I'd tell her that I love her
And how much we all miss her
Since she's gone way up there.
