Nearer My God to Thee (live, 1998-10-31: Fitzgerald Theater, Saint Paul, MN, USA)

~ Recording by Butch Thompson and His Hiawatha Marching Band

Annotation

According to the liner notes of the 25th Anniversary Collection, this was recorded on 10-31-1999, a Sunday. However, Butch Thompson and His Hiawatha Marching Band performed "Nearer My God to Thee" on A Prairie Home Companion on 10-31-1998, a Saturday: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/19981031/. I believe that 1999 was a typo.
