Thread Name: Acres of Clams/Old Settler's Song (various songs)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Acres of Clams
Mary,

Here's David MacAuslan's version of the song. It's the more conventional version of the song, which we usually sing. Note the difference between this and the version Deckman sings in the way Ivar thought it should be sung.

Note: "David MacAuslan hailed from Chicago, Illinois and moved to Seattle in the late 1990's, where he quickly established himself in the local folk scene. An avid music aficionado and highly skilled singer and percussionist, he soon became sought after as a side man for many projects." David MacAuslan (July 1, 1959 - April 6, 2006). David was a good friend, singer and musician, and we miss him greatly.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
