After threatening the total destruction of my modem and contemplating horrible things I could do to my server, I was finally able to tune into the hearme sing about 45 minutes after I began trying.

Let me tell you, it was worth it! What an amazing bunch of folks we have among us! Not only that but they are so wonderfully diverse in their musical selections that there is a surprise at every turn. It was a perfectly enjoyable evening - well, at least for the most part. There were unfortunate problems to be had with microphones and with pushing that damned F9 button. And some of this sort of thing precluded our hearing the songs (or parts of the songs) of a few. But outside of that, It was wonderful!

I sang:

LITTLE BOY
by Mike Settle

When I was a little boy, my mother said to me,
"Watch the new born roses grow. It's a pretty sight to see.
You, my son, shall blossom as the flower below.
I will be your raindrops. You will be my rose.

Listen while I tell you of the beauty in the sky.
There's a home for angels on the clouds so high.
I must be an angel. In heaven I shall stay.
If you ever need me, I'll hear each word you say."

Now her raindrops fall no more. Who will take her place?
Will I live to blossom full or wither into space?
Many times I wonder on the clouds above
Is it my dear mother who showers me with love?

When I was a little boy.

I post the lyrics here because I had forgotten to include the middle verse when I sang it and you should really see how it is supposed to go.

I also sang "Seven Golden Daffodils" (VERY old trad.) and "Tell Old Bill". The latter of the two was, I believe, collected by Carl Sandburg.
