Thread Name: Top Ten Campfire songs
Subject: RE: Top Ten Campfire songs
At the Episcopal Church Camp (MacDowell) near Nauvoo, AL in the very early 1960's Cookie Smith used to sing: Seven Golden Daffodils. Will I ever forget that campfire, the dark of night, the circle of boys and girls, the clear rushing creek as Cookie played the bass strings of her big guitar: (bum bum) seven golden daffodils (bum bum) shining in the sun.....
meanwhile the night is all around us and the campfire is lighting the exciting faces of the beautiful shy girls and boys (shining still in my memory)
We also sang: "Ah Woe Ah Me (shame and scandle on the family," Tom Dooley, Where Have All The Flowers Gone, Dona Dona Dona, If I Had A Hammer and others........
