Carmel Quin did two or three concerts at my alma mater, The College of our Lady of the Elms in Chicopee, Mass. while I was a student there. Mom and I attended and enjoyed them. At one of the shows, Carmel sang "The Wind beneath My Wings." Funnily enough, though I was familiar with the song, it had never done a whole lot for me. Hearing Carmel sing it, though, brought the meaning home to me. I remember squeezing Mom's hand during the song, and her seeming perplexed at my doing so. But it said everything I was never able to say to her.
Can't seem to find Carmel Quin on YouTube, so here's Bette Midler.

ReplyDeleteI love this song even though wind has to go OVER the wings to lift a plane. Wind under the wings makes for a nosedive.
