In late March, as “The Great Hunkering” began, my mom (aka. Gracie) began sitting down to her piano each weekend to play hymns. Since I had moved to her place so she wouldn’t be isolated, I was on hand to record her playing.
Then I decided to start posting them, first on Facebook, and later onto YouTube, via an unlisted link, in a series I have titled “Sunday Morning Hymns with Gracie.” She chooses three hymns to play, and away she goes — entirely by memory; no piece of music needed, thank you very much.
I have been remiss about posting them here, but am going to fix that now.
Here is her set for August 2. (If you are receiving this post by email, please click on this link to see the video.)
And here is her piece from July 26. Just one song: The Holy City.
Did I mention that she is 93?
