UNDERAPPRECIATED MUSIC: DAVID MALLETT

Folksinger/songwriter David Mallett is perhaps best known for "The Garden Song," an often-covered ode to nature.   Pete Seeger once introduced the song as having been written by an old Maine farmer, not realizing that Mallett was a fresh young talent.  No Matter, the song is a classic.

Here he is performing the song with kindergartners from Kennebunk, Maine:

This is one of the first songs we heard him sing.  Half-way through the song, Kitty turned to me and said, "His voice is like honey."

Mallett is one of the artists I listen to at this time of year.  A perfect way to close out one year and to greet another.
