Thread Name: Tune up: Fantasy Folk Circle
Subject: RE: Tune up: Fantasy Folk Circle
About five years ago a friend talked me into going to a Kingston Trio concert. I wasn't very excited about going, and the concert was about as you'd expect until two members of the Trio broke guitar strings at the same time. This left Nick Reynolds on the stage by himself with nothing planned. So he pulled out an old Goebel Reeves song that he now sang to his granddaughter to put her to sleep at night. It's the same lullaby that I sang to my children when they were little. Kind of convenient...it makes them sleepy and also possibly lays the seeds of a social awareness. Everyone knows "Hobo's Lullaby", so lets get some good harmonies on the chorus and maybe pass the verses around a little. If we do well enough maybe we can get the folks out in the kitchen to come back in and join the circle. Key of G.
