Dear Mudcat Friends: Could you please sing Jean Ritchie's "Peace Round" at midnight New Year's Eve and encourage friends to do likewise?
1. What a lovely thing. 2. If the children of the earth; 3. Could live together. 4. I-n peace.
The sentiment expressed in the song makes a fitting greeting for 2010, I believe. Perhaps Jean will have recovered enough to sing a bit on New Year's Eve herself. Absent that, wouldn't it be nice to assure her that her words won't be silenced, even by a stroke?
So far, I have assurance that "Peace Round" will ring in the New Year in places in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Kentucky. Could Mudcatters cover all the states? Might somebody assure me it will be sung "across the pond." Skarpi: Could the Peace Round ring the year in to Iceland?
