Thread Name: Lyr Req: Whippoorwill (various songs)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whippoorwill
You can find music from 1901 preserved on an ancient technology, you can find lyrics from songs of all kinds and all ages, yet you blow your top because you have to click once and close an ad?

That's not much of a trade-off. By the way, is your pop-up blocker on?

For those not of America, here's a link to a whippoorwill calling. (They do it a night, especially moonlit nights.)

night call


I love hearing them, although I admit they can become tiresome if too close to the tent.

We haven't had any luck with the song Guest is seeking, but if you go on YouTube, you can search for 'Whippoorwill DeZurik' and hear the DeZurik Sisters singing the song that Melissa posted. It's a charming piece, esp if you omit the novelty yodels.

I wish I could find a MIDI or the sticks and dots for that song.
