I just heard this haunting song, "Here Comes The Water" by Chuck Pyle on the Hudson River Sampler. It is a deserving memorial to a Colorado trooper who sacrificed his life to save people from flooding in 1976. It put me in mind of Tom Paxton's song "The Bravest." I first heard him sing it live on the Prairie Home Companion the fall of 2001. I haven't heard a better tribute to the survivors and the victims of 9/11.
