Editors note" This is a remix in order to achieve a 16 x 9 aspect ratio. Rosalie died in 2017. Rosalie Sorrels, who wrote this lovely piece, is an American Folk music singer-songwriter who resides in the mountains near my hometown of Boise, Idaho. Rosalie, who I have had the great good fortune to meet, was born in 1933. She began her public career as a singer and collector of traditional folksongs in the late 1950s. During the early 1960s she left her husband and began traveling and performing at music festivals and clubs throughout the United States. She and her five children traveled across the country as she worked to support her family and establish herself as a performer. Along the way she made many lifelong friends among the folk and beat scene. Her career of social change, activism, storytelling, teaching, learning, songwriting, collecting folk songs, performing, and recording has spanned six decades. The artist singing this version is Gretchen Peters. She was born November 14, 1957 in Bronxville, New York & is a singer-songwriter in the folk/country genre. She was raised in Boulder, Colorado, but moved to Nashville, Tennessee in the late 1980s. There, she found work as a songwriter, composing hits for Martina McBride, Etta James, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, George Strait, as well as for rock singers Neil Diamond and co-writing songs with Bryan Adams. She won the Country Music Association Song Of The Year award for McBride's "Independence Day". In addition, Peters has released seven studio albums of her own.
