snowbird Question: Ashokan Farewell (95* d) RE: Question: Ashokan Farewell 03 Aug 04

I went to the Ashokan Camp last summer - its worth checking out on the website - just search for Ashokan Farwell - and up it pops. There is no doubt that Jay Ungar wrote the tune. It is used as the farewell dance at the end of each of the three summer camps. Jay wrote it at the end of one summer - after the last camp when he was devastated and exhausted at the end of it all. It was like an Auld Lang Syne - what the scottish sing at the new year.

Having been entrenched in folk music genre for the whole summer of course the tune shows the influence of it all.

I know that Jay and Molly are rather fond of food and would dearly love to visit the various Ashoka establishments that have been suggested throughout the northern hemisphere.
