A Hundredfold

The title track of the collection A Hundredfold: A Contemporary Folk Hymnal, from 1978, is as obscure as the rest of the collection. I can find no sign of Ken Meltz‘s song anywhere and it is extremely out of print.

Ken Meltz was part of the Roamin’ Collars in the late 60s and early 70s a group of seminarians who used the folk idiom.

This likeable quasi-spiritual is based on the parable of the sower from Matt 13:1-9.

I think this works better, but having never heard the original I can’t be sure.
