I returned from my varied travels yesterday to find an envelope with the words “Homesong Fri” on the outside.

Inside was a CD. It had been posted by a regular Homesong attender here in Campbeltown. The CD contains some songs by Beldina Odenyo, who played one of our early Homesongs here, and who I mentioned in a recent post. She tragically died a short while ago, and the poster, the mother of Beldina’s partner, just wanted us to remember her at our Homesong on Friday, by playing a couple of her songs.

It’s a beautiful idea. We will do.

To hear Beldina live would always be so much better. But the songs and the memories will always live on.
