I was sad to hear of the death of Benjamin Luxon today. May he rest in peace and may his family be comforted.

Simple Gifts was written in 1848 by Elder Joseph Brackett, so should indeed be in the public domain by now. Aaron Copland used the tune in Appalachian Spring, and was gracious enough to credit his source. Sydney Carter, on the other hand, unashamedly let on that he wrote the tune for his song Lord Of The Dance.

Thanks! This song should be Public Domain, since God has all the original patents and copyrights, eh?

I can remember my father singing this song since I was a boy. Something just told me to punch some lyrics into Google, & here I am. What a beautiful song. He has departed from me 12 years now, but I still miss him every day. I'm about to be 30 in a few weeks

I was privileged to have been able to call Bill Crofut my friend, and teacher. He invited me to stay at his home with his wife over winter break for a few days, and he introduced me to the delightful Ben Luxom. It was been well over 20 years since we lost Bill, and it's wonderful to see them both once again....

I'm sorry for your loss, 20 years plus doesn't matter. We miss our lost friends forever. You were privileged to have known him & he, you.

Lovely story David! :) I own Bill crofut's old banjo from the 60's that he made himself. Maybe you saw it around the house? Long neck merlin. I've got a photo of him using it in the 60's aswell. Heavy aluminium shiny neck.
