 Linda Ransom

"Remember When" is Linda Ransom's debut album as a Jazz singer. She possesses lush rich fullness one would compare with Sarah Vaughn. Linda couldn't have found a more sympathetic accompanist than Morrison, Williams, and Silverstein. They tastefully compliment and allow her to glow in the unique and highly seasoned way she delivers everything from ballads to blues and a fabulous empathy for Brazilian styles."   Ira Gitler

“... and she can sing up some blues! Dig this recording of another of Phil Morrison’s original tunes called “Misery Blues”!

Summer Rain (Amaoto*)

  A soul stirring song sung by vocalist/pianist Keith Williams:

  Words and music 

  by Phil Morrison

  (note... this song was written and recorded in Japan and it’s alternate title is “Amaoto” which means “the sound of rain””).  

Clouds from an Asian sky -
Riding on the winds of change in summer
Rains come like tears that cleanse the eye -
Listen......hear the rain

Sunshine has slipped away
As the light is dimmed for dreams in slumber
Fields turn from green to misty grey
Listen......hear the rain

Gone is the sound of silence
New rhythms......are near
Old songs from deep inside us
Make memories......reappear

Warm is the summer air
As the cooling waters fall from heaven
Raindrops are dancing without care
Listen......hear the rain

*..Amaoto means "the sound of rain" in Japanese

  God
  Bestow upon these souls Thy protection

  We thank them for their sacrifice

 Bright
 Within their hearts The Glory's reflection

 Faith in Thy Word will sustain me
  And although I feel the pain ..
in my heart that Faith remains
With Thee we're not alone...Thy Love is my Protection

Oh my Lord...I make this sacrifice for Thee ...Who art the Glory
 I know that Your Light will replace this darkness

Refresh and Gladden My Spirit

Baha'i World Center

             
         Words...A Baha'i Prayer

                Music by..Phil Morrison

Oh God...Refresh and Gladden my spirit

Purify my heart...illumine my powers

I lay all my affairs in Thy hand

Thou art my guide and my refuge

I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved

I will be a happy and joyful being

Oh God, I will no longer be filled with

anxiety

Nor will I let trouble harass me

I will not dwell on the unpleasant

things in life

Oh God, Thou art more friend to me than

I am to myself

I dedicate myself to Thee oh Lord

                        Abdu'l Baha
