Morning Has Broken was one of the songs my little teenage group of saxophones and guitars would play at our Youth masses many moons ago. A great song.

I remember our own youth groups and bonfire songs - it is a great song, that is easily strummed and sung

Mornings are my BEST time of the day - the air is wonderful in Cape Town like fresh out of a can

Greek composer and singers have always been my favorite, Cat Stevens, Demis Roussos, Mikis Theodorakis. I love their songs.

Enjoy your bowling day. I used to belong to a bowling league when I was younger and it was so much fun.
