At the time of year when we are thinking more readily of generosity, gratitude, and love, it seems appropriate to remember that a burden shared is a burden lightened. Though certainly not limited to a particular season or holiday, "Room At My Table" is a song about opening our hearts to each other, helping with one another's afflictions and sorrows. Acoustic guitar is the feature instrument on the accompaniment recording with support by piano, a fretless bass, and strings. We set the scene with a soloist for the first verse, or your choir can sing the verse in unison. An optional second part joins in later. (from Music K-8, Vol. 33, No. 2)
