This song puts my in mind of an incident in a supermarket a few weeks ago. I was standing behind a very large biker, all in leathers, long greasy hair and beard, a real hard case in appearance. Yet most of his purchases were cat food and he spoke very quietly and politely to young lady serving him.

It does us well to look at ourselves and imagine how we appear to others although appearances can be deceiving.

Nice song Alex, well thought out and presented and nice to hear your daughter joining in.

Hi Alex,

Like Badeye I also listened to this a couple of times and the long D in the chorus that I was struggling with actually works really well. I am very pleased you found time to record it as it is a far better song than the way that I was interpreting it

Thank you,

Roger

Now it is public that you became a dad again on Saturday 7th to a little girl can I offer my congratulations to you and your better half (who did all the hard work) and wish Ciara (I hope I got the name right) a long and happy life.

Roger

Hi Jeff,

A nice little song this although I must admit I only sang the first chorus as I am having plenty of trouble trying to count in Poruguese without confusing my tired old brain with German, Japanese and Spanish. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

I think sometimes, after you have been trying hard and getting no where and you leave it, that your subconscious works while you are sleeping or whatever and irons out the problems so that next time you try 'EUREKA' - it works. So the prior practice is not worthless, that is what set the gears in motion.

Hi Mike,

I sent you a private message on how to put things right unless, of course, Sir James in his shining armour, mounted on his white steed and with his trusty keyboard in his hand comes to the rescue first.

Joking apart I picked up my guitar and finger picked this song just as you described and I think it is the best song you have done so far.  I LOVE IT. In fact I am going to do a badeye and do it again right now.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Alex,

Another good one from you although I am looking forward to you recording this one to hear how you intended the long D in the chorus to be sung. That is if you have time between the feeding and nappy changing. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

My condolences to you and your family.

A fitting tribute that has captured the emotional turmoil of losing a family member.

Roger

Thanks for that James,

The music is available in a songbook that is still in print 'Peter Paul and Mary - Around the Campfire' Published by either Warner Bros Publishing or Alfred Publishing and the stock number is 0260B. It appears to be around $17.00 in America so even with postage you will have change.

I hope this helps.

Roger

Hi robjungle,

This has really got me intrigued. Can you post the URL for the lyrics you have found for me to check out please?
