Carly	Lyr Req: Been in the Storm So Long (29)	RE: Lyr Req: Been in the Storm So Long	20 Jan 10
Merle Schlesinger (now Merle Roesler) and I first heard Been In the Storm in the fall of 1971 at a Folklore Society of Greater Washington Open Sing at the Washington Ethical Society. It was very late in the evening, and we had been singing by candle light for several hours, when out of the darkness of a shadowy corner soared this unearthly, soul-piercing, glorious voice singing "Been in the storm..." That was our introduction to Jan Hackman (who is now Jan Green,) and to the song, which we immediately learned and sang.As far as I can recall, Jan got it from the Georgia Sea Island Singers; Rock Creek (Wally Macnow, Tom McHenry, and Bill Destler,) learned it from Merle and recorded it. Enjoy, Hillary! Carly Gewirz
