‘Sail My Ship Home’ – by Thomas Shackleton
(Click on the title of the song to play it in a separate window)
Thomas was a great musician who played the guitar and could make a tune on any instrument. This was one of his songs that we played at his funeral – and on his gravestone we have a guitar engraved into the marble with the words “Sail my ship home”.
Thomas was the singer in a band called the “Slow Emotion” but this was a song he wrote and performed by himself. We are so very fortunate to have Thomas’ music and to hear his voice seems to bring him to life.
