While driving in my car I was listening to the FM Classical Musical Station and heard this song that caught my ear. I stopped the car to listen closely and write down which I have done on the very odd occassion, the name of the singer and the name of the song. You guessed it, "Speaking with the Angel" sung by Mary Black. I have a very close connection with angels, see them often as they are very close. I know that they just adore and promote anyone who acknowledges them especially through music which they just love to hear. I immediately found the album by the same name in a music store and a friend had the musical scores of many of Mary's songs.
A few months later (being a music teacher) I was asked to find a song that was suitable for the senior students who are about 17/18 years of age who were leaving school and some leaving home to be played/sung at their Graduation ceremony. I played the song "Bless The Road" to the principal and the deputy of the school and the deputy began to cry as she had a son who was in his final year, leaving school and leaving home. So the song was chosen and kept secret that it was going to be performed for the students and their parents. Except for the couple who had a son leaving and had been asked if they would perform the song during the ceremony.
Now twelve months later I still listen to the album and in particular this song and it brings many memories back as I have since left that school myself. The angels knew I would need to find this song so caught my ear with the song I heard months before in the car.
