-belonging Song-

( Dedicated to my Sister Florence Grace in Houston, Texas ) They say a nightingale sang in Berkley square But last night I dreamt The Nightingale was sitting on my chair chirping its melodious song To my soaring soul and now its song is part of my being, to belong.

Yes Dear Kim when Florence sang so sweetly and melodiously songs such as:- Freight Train, Five-hundred miles from home and "Rebel" (that's me) and so many others with Hillary Archibald, They called themselves "The Hi-Flo's",They also had LP's and 45 record disc's made,Thank-you for stopping by.
