When Tom sang in the mountains, the beautiful and ancient Irish and Scottish folk songs have been circulating for hundreds of years.
For generations the people of this land have sung their own songs from generation to generation. Facing the river, facing the mountains.
Although there will also be speculation, rude obedience, and ignorance that interfere with holiness in their lives, but as long as they are near music, they have walked into music and into beauty.
The cunning guy who tried to buy land for 50 cents an acre, after a drunken brawl, sings of death sympathetically: I'm dead, and no one can beat it. I open the door to heaven and hell.
They sing like this, sing like this, and sing forever, and live forever.
