Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peace I ask of thee oh river
Hi Barabara & Tinker,

Thanks for your responses. Sorry not to respond quicker myself -- have been away from the computer for the last week or so.

Barbara, I was at Narrin in the late 60s (& early 70s), so I probably wouldn't have known the song leader you mentioned. Some of the songs you mention are familiar, though -- but more are not.

Gehlobit - no
Walk Shepherdess, Walk - yes, but not from camp (one of my Dad's fav songs)
The Billboard Song - yes, but (again) not from Narrin
Witchcraft - no
Kum By Yah - definitely
Jacob's Ladder - no
Man's Life's a Vapor - no
I'm Wild about Horns on Automobiles - yes! (that one brought a smile to my face...)
Stodala Pumpa - no
I'd like to be just like the Wind - no

Here are the songs I remember from Narrin:
Peace I Ask of Thee oh River (of course)
Sippin' Cider/The other day I met a bear
Spiderweb
There are Suitors at my Door
In the Land of Oden (sp?)
