Peter Himmelman’s ‘Song for Catherine’

Song for Catherine aka Catherine Burns Willis Oliver.

Written  and recorded in 2004 by the great Peter Himmelman…I don’t know how or if this will work but surfing the web I have discovered to my surprise a link to a song by Himmelman about my wife, Catherine.

I helped arrange this with Himmelman years ago as a gift to Catherine upon her graduation at San Francisco Theological Seminary with a Master’s of Divinity degree. She’s a great pastor, my best friend and the words to this song still are true.

The song turned out beyond my wildest imagination, and has been a touchstone of peace for us. Thanks Peter.

I hate to make you work to hear this but I if you want to listen to the song, you need to copy and paste the link below this photo into your browser. Hope it works.

P.S.  Although it would be a slight detour from the stated mission of this blog,  I  would like to write up Himmelman for a post one day and probably will even though I don’t have any vinyl from him. Just about four or five CD’s — all excellent..
