Sunday morning music
It's a sad Sunday Morning Music for me today, because yesterday I learned
that Judith Durham, lead singer of The Seekers during their heyday in the
1960's, died on Friday. Her voice was extraordinary, but so was her life
in general, in so many ways.
I grew up with The Seekers' music, and it's been an important strand of my
musical memories and tastes ever since. A couple of decades ago, a
compendium of every single Seekers song was released in a five-CD boxed set,
and I bought it at once. It remains a treasured part of my music library.
In memory of Judith Durham and The ... read more
