Visions While Flying Toward the Setting Sun: Anne Hills

This is the third visit of Anne Hills to Northern Spirit Radio, and she brings together for us stirring visions of our past, present, and future, often glimpsed from on the wing. Anne has a rich history of writing and performing folk music, on her own, and with the likes of folk greats like Tom Paxton, Michael Smith, David Roth, and others. Today she peers down on us from above, a wide lens capable of seeing our highest aspirations and our most painful paths. Anne lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
