"Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather" is a well-known folk song that has been covered by dozens if not hundreds of performers. Full annotations and discussion were compiled on the late lamented LyricSplainer site, and I am happy to report that these have been archived by Sarah Pinsker at www.uncannymagazine.com/artic....
Seriously, click that link, it's a must-read.
(My favorite version of the song is the one by The Chicks, and it pains me that I can't link to that; it got caught in a rights issue and keeps getting taken down from KZfaq. I've done the best I can without the harmonies and other instruments.)
If this were one of my livestreams, this is where I'd be removing the "Kayfabe Alert!" banner. 😊

A great addition to the list of performers who have tackled this song! I love the variations you gave to what is otherwise a whole lot of melodically similar verses. --Sarah

Various thoughts: Love the audio here. That bit of reverb lends itself to the emotion of the song. I’ve been watching your videos for some years now. Your voice has an ease that didn’t used to be there (horrible sentence structure, I know!). Do you attribute that to experience, or, are you actively having voice lessons/working on your own on vocal production? That jumper/overall is so cool. The whole ensemble screams Autumn. Excellent post-production! Life has kept me from the last few Live Feeds. I’m hoping to get back regularly soon. Have a lovely Fall season!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback greatly. 😊 I admit I cheated a bit on this song: I recorded all the vocals except the low notes one afternoon, and then filled in the last line of all the verses the following morning, when my voice was lower. (Then I lip-synched the video afterward.) This probably makes it unfair to directly compare with the singing on one of my more typical one-take videos or livestreams, but I will accept the compliment on the audio production. 😊 The last time I did vocal exercises of any sort regularly was in 2015, when there was a group I went to once a week. (It fit my schedule at the time. Alas, it disbanded.) If I've gotten more comfortable in front of the microphone, that probably is a matter of getting more experience over the past few years. Thanks again, and I hope you'll be able to make it to another livestream before too long!

@@SundayComesAfterwards I have heard of others doing the “low notes in the morning” technique. Love it!
