Subject: Index: 101 plus 5 Songs for Camp (Oak)
I got my start singing at campfires, so I've always loved camp songs. Years ago, I heard of an Oak Publications book called 101 Plus Five Songs for Camp [compiled and edited with notes by Mike Cohen on the use of folk songs in a camp music program, 1966]. From that day on, I coveted that book. I dated a woman in the mid-1990s, and I found out she had a copy of THAT book. It almost kept the relationship alive long after it should have died. Later, I was able to find my own copy, so I have no regrets about ending that relationship. Now that I look at the book, I see that most of the songs are far too sophisticated for the style of campfire singing that works for me - but they're good songs. Still, how can you think of camp songs without "The Hole In the Bottom of the Sea" and "The Deacon Went Down"?
