Whispering Hope reflects Cindy's precious memories of family singing. Subtitled Soft as the Voice of an Angel, this durable old hymn was composed by Alice Hawthorne. "It goes back to my mother and grandmother," Cindy says. "It's for them. When my mom was sick and dying, that's when I learned it and started to play it for her." Note the haunting ending where Cindy plays the B notes on the unfretted second string and frets the third string (tuned to a G note) at the fourth fret to produce a second B note.
Tuning: G6th (D--G--D--G--B--E)
