Thread Name: Suggestions for Rise Up Singing II
Subject: Suggestions for Rise Up Singing II
I haven't seen anything official from Sing Out!, but the newsletter of the San Francisco Folk Music Club says that Peter & Annie Blood-Patterson are compiling a second volume of "Rise Up Singing," to be sent to the publisher in November. The newsletter says Peter and Annie are looking for songs that are easy to learn, play, and sing with a group; and that have tunes that are widely known or can be located relatively easily by most people. They're looking for lists of suggested songs, and ask that the lists include title, author, source (primary or secondary), and the classification you'd put it in. I thought it would be interesting to have a thread here for suggestions. Anybody have any contributions? First on my list is "When You and I Were Young, Maggie," by George W. Johnson and James Austin Butterfield, lyrics and chords in the Folksinger's Wordbook (and in the Digital Tradition). -Joe Offer-
