Thanks to everyone for your suggestions on Birthday songs. Doris - I do remember a kid's program of about 50 years ago called Uncle Don & The Squirrel Cage. Thanks for the notes to go with the song - I'll see if it jogs my memory. Marc Cohen - Thanks for your song. I had forgotten it, and I know the tune. Sorcha - The 6th graders would love the Barbarian Birthday song. One of our Portland Folklore Society is also a member of SCA and knows quite a few verses of it - I'll have to compare your version with hers. Actually, I know quite a few people of "a certain age" who would also get a kick out of some of the verses, especially since it is sung to the tune of the Volga Boatmen, a common theme for people at milestone birthdays of 30+.
