I CRASHED BUT REFUSED TO BURN

Derdriu, I first sang this anthem at 17 years old. The last time was Saturday as I sang along with the album my choir made when I was 17! It still excites me! 🤗 I am 72 and my voice is far from what it used to be but I still love to sing it.

I don't know the name of the isle and it was uninhabited.
