Thank all of you so much for helping with the words to the songs! I called my father last night and he went sort of blank on everything but the Philmont Scout camp part. This evening he called and remembered that the Walking alone, along the merry lane... song may be called "Meadowlands." He says he thinks he remembers playing it in the band in Jr. High school in Tyler, Texas! He also thinks the Czech song, which he had thought was Russian, was a popular number in WWII.

At any rate, I came and checked the Mudcat responses while I was on the phone with him and received all your wonderful responses! I was reading off the lyrics and he was saying "Yes, yes... I remember that!," and was pleased as punch with learning new verses. (Now he wants to learn all about how to post messages on boards such as this). He said this just made his day and I want you all to know how much I appreciate your time. Thanks! Heather
