Hello Folks and welcome to another episode of A Song a Day (Keeps Coronavirus Away)
Before I go any further, I would just like to take a moment to say thanks. Thanks for listening the first time and thanks for returning.
I checked my stats and there's one particular person who has listened to every episode and I'm quite honored.
I've still got quite a few songs left in me and my voice is finally starting to come back to normal.
If there's a particular song of which you'd like to hear a snippet, leave me a voice message with the info. If at all possible I will oblige.

Now for today's song:
Close to Thee (Gaither Live Gathering, lovely rendition)
Thou my everlasting portion
More than friend or life to me
All alone my pilgrim journey
Saviour let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
All alone my pilgrim journey
Saviour let me walk with Thee
Not for easy wordly pleasure
Nor for fame my prayer shall be
Gladly will I toil and suffer
Only let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Gladly will I toil and suffer
Only let me walk with Thee
Lead me through the veil of shadows
Bear me o'er life's fitful sea
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord with Thee...
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter Lord with Thee...
Songwriters: Fanny J. Crosby / Silas Jones Vail

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
