Don McLean song question
A very unusual request this morning. They (a church) is willing pay me 200 bucks to play one song during their 'program'. It is something Babylon by Don Mclean...? I never heard it or heard of it....I'll probally defer this one to a friend that may be more familiar with DM than I am...but 200 bucks to play one song is a good deal. Stupid me would probally do it for free since they are a church.

I've got to hear this, if so many folks have covered it.
Psalm 137 is the prototypical Psalm of Lamentation. This is the time of year for it Leonard.
