I have chosen a tune from a band "Deep Purple" that i know is very close to her. The tune "Hush" is a song written by Joe South for Billy Joe Royal. It was a minor hit in 1967. The song is better known for the version by British hard rock band Deep Purple, recorded on May 11, 1968, for their debut album Shades of Deep Purple. So this for you my love.
Happy Birthday Thetania!
