JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE
1. Just a Closer Walk with Thee is played in Cool Hand Luke when Luke is in the box for 3 days after his mother dies.
2. The lady who used to play organ at church would play Just a Closer Walk with Thee every sunday during the communion procession. The day before she moved to Florida there was a reception for her after mass and I thanked her for playing that song because I love it. She said she played it for her husband who also loved the song. I thought that was nice.

BETH ORTON
1. I saw her open up for Beck a few years back.
