Music: Amazing Grace

I'll post this one for Gammy since she hasn't learned how to use the Blogger yet. Amazing Grace sung by Il Divo (the Italian name means celebrity, they were created by Simon Cowell of American Idol) at the Coliseum in Rome. There is definitely distinctive resonance in this structure.

The song, whose lyrics are based on 1st Chronicles 17:16-17, is used by Christian and non-Christian groups around the world symbolizing freedom and human rights. It was also used by the Cherokee Indians while on the Trial of tears. They were not always giving an opportunity to properly bury their dead, and sang a translation of this song.
