HEWAS BAC K On Tursday, evening May 22nd, George Hamilton IV was once again in Kendal. Rev. Black introduced him and said that George H-amniltorn IV is truly the international Am~bassadlor of CountryMusic. The program opened wÀith George singîng "Country MAusic in My Soul"' followed witli'We Make Up Like Old Friends Do, By The Way, Abilene, -and In The Earîy Morning Rain"~. The last two songs weritten b31 Gordon Lightfoct, lie saicd that h li ad met Gordon Lightfoot at the HorsesIhoe Tavemi and felî in love with lis songs. George then sang "Canadian Pacific" which was also written by a Canadian Ray Grnff. He said it is because of their songs that he has recorded 50 miany Canadian songs. He sang 'Tired Old Man". He spoke of the different genierations and said that his son, George Hamilton 5th is presently touring in England and that they will be meeting and wvorking together along with Carl Smith at an annual car Show in England during he mon1-th of July. Icould go on. and on listing the songs that he sang, as well as the poems he reclted, stories told in verse. He switched to more Gospel type music and had the audience join and I ami pretty sure that lie hadl almost everyone singing along. Towards the end lie sang "What A Friend We Have In Jesus- and gave the Musiclans Prayer. His closing song was, "May You Stay Forever Young"'. It was amaz- ing how fast the Urne went by, once he started he neyer paused, just went from song to poem. I couldn't believe it when I looked at my watch, and saw the time. Mter, lie stayed and met the people personally. P.
