Thread Name: Help: Spoon River Anthology songs?!
Subject: RE: Help: Spoon River Anthology songs?!
FWIW, the song in the YouTube clip isn't the same one that featured in the play (which consisted of Edgar Lee Masters' poems, interspersed with folk or folk-style songs). These were sung and accompanied onstage by members of the cast, who also spoke the lines (more on this in my 8th April '12 post above).
Are you looking for the song, the singer, or both? Can you remember anything at all about the song? The original-cast one is folky and pretty, about the haunting nature of memories, which you can never recapture.
