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..
Beautiful song! I enjoyed listening to it and remembering the fun times we shared at Covenant Presbyterian Church when we were young, Catherine Burns Willis Oliver! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment! http://www.peterhimmelman.com/sitemp3s/songportraits/catherineoliver.mp3
