Hi Claire, back in 2002, on the long interstate drive returning from the National Folk Festival, my late husband and I started planning a workshop ("themed presentation") entitled : “The Road Goes Ever On : Songs of The Journey” to be interspersed with poetry and sayings from the World’s Wisdom .... We used descriptors such as these to jog our memory : Journey / Path / Route / Direction / Walk / Ramble / Stroll / March / Voyage / Travel / Sail / Fly / Train / Moving On / etc etc Sadly, it never got past that early planning stage! The Songs, a mix of traditional and contemporary, that our long drive brought to mind (we had to sing each one!) were: 500 Miles x 2 Canaan’s Land Coal Tattoo Coshieville Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd Freight Train Blues Hobo’s Lullaby Home Is Where the Heart Is Homeless Man I’m A Freeborn Man I’ve Been Doing Some Hard Traveling Iron Road, The I’m On My Way To Kingdom Land I’m Marching Forward to Freedom Land It’s Good To See You Jolly Waggoner, The Mingulay Boat Song Moving On Song O’er the Water To Charlie October Song Please Come To Boston Rambling Boy Rank Stranger Rock and Row Me Over Rosebay Ferry So Long, It’s Been Good To Know You Spencer the Rover Step By Step Tentpoles Are Rotten, The Thirsty Boots Time Is A Tempest (and We Are All Travellers) Toorak Tram Travellin’ Man Travellin’ Shoes x 3 Travelling Down the Castlereagh Vaudeville Man Walkin’ Blues Where I’m Bound You’ll Never Walk Alone We always intended to continue our quest for songs and poetry/prose, and Make It All Happen. Needless to say, once back in the "Real World" :( it all slid to the Back Shelf of Life - and here it is 2017 and my Beloved has now made his journey to Beyond the Veil ..... Well, hope it's of some use to YOU now! Cheers! Rich-Joy Down Under
