Hazel Gay's To Heal the Broken-Hearted

I’m enclosing many of my songs along with my book because
they were such an integral part of my healing. Being able to express
my feelings with the music is another form of therapy for me.
Simply click on a song to hear it.

I had been feeling like I wanted to write a song for a few years and nothing happened.
♫One morning in the fall of 1973 I woke up about 6:30 and by 7:00 my first song was there.
I was shocked: it was a country song! After I thought about it I decided I should not be too surprised since that was the kind of music my mother had always listened to when I was growing up. I wrote my first three during the next two days.
