I got a kick out of Bert's choice of Still I Love Him as an "upbeat" song. I think of it as a sad description of a very dysfunctional relationship. Still, as traditional songs go, I guess it IS upbeat. Nobody gets killed.

We had a "Songs That Lift the Spirit" workshop at the Getaway two weeks ago. I think all of the songs chosen were recent compositions, although most were what I'd consider part of the folk genre.
