A RARE live Oliver performance of him singing "Early Morning Rain". This is only one of a very few well preserved and quality clips out there of Bill "Oliver" Swofford. I think that those who watched him perform in person many times have a closer connection and appreciation for all of his work simply because of the personal component of his performances.
This video is released as part of the celebration of life for William Oliver Swofford (2/22/1945 - 2/12/2000); It's being provided as a small gesture of my humble respect and love for this magnificent man taken from us too soon, yet he left these bits of evidence of his short but accomplished, admirable and humbled life. #BeLikeBill
