Chief, what a wonderful journey through a song that is my favorite also. I was a member of the Pomona College Men's Glee Club from 1955-1959 - I could have been a voice on that recording you played. The director at that time was Bill Russell (we called him "Bill" - a little more informal then). When I go back for alumni reunions the Glee Club alumni are asked to join in singing some of the old songs - that is always a thrill and brings back many fond memories. This song has always been part of my repertoire, particularly with my guitar around an evening campfire. Thanks for sharing your journey. Cheers, S. in Seattle
