Thread Name: Ballad of the Merry Ferry -songs of the Northwest
Subject: RE: Ballad of the Merry Ferry (Pacific NW)
Don, sorry, I've been away from the Web for a couple days and just saw your note about the Geoduck Song. I'm familiar with the one in Linda Allen's Washington songbook, but the one I was asking about is a different one, which Deckman had posted in this thread. That is, I'm pretty sure it's a different one. The one in Linda's book is not set to a frontier dirge as I recall it. ;-)

Deckman, the Carlton Fitchett "As Happy as a Butter Clam" song (which is also, incidentally, in Linda's book, which is where I first encountered it) is on my website, with MIDI, in both English and Esperanto. Go to my Song Index and scroll down looking for "Ode to Puget Sound" (or maybe "Puget Sound, Ode to", I forget...)
