| I have most of the recordings, but the lyrics might be too hopeful for Voltaire I dinna care aboot Mr V. I've heard two performances: in'76, Barbara Cook was on tour, following her Carnegie Hall concert (Released on Columbia records) An encore brought students from U Of Mich school of Music;to sing Make our Garden Grow. Even more amazing was an anniversary (for the school of music/theater): as more and more students joined the alumni on stage, it was filled to overflowing; It was glorious | |

| I saw that anniversary concert at the Hill Auditorium. Glorious doesn't begin to describe it. It's been quite a few years since that special night, but that finale has stayed with me -- and will be with me forever. | |

| There is a lovely version of it combined with One Hand, One Heart sung by Laurie Beechman and Sam Harris on her No One is Alone album. Given Ms. Beechman's own narrative at the time, the hopefulness yet knowing sadness is poignant, and proves (to me) that the song can have many renditions that do it proud. | |
