This and "Evermore", also from the Quarter Moon album, were two of the lullabies that I used to sing the girls to sleep - some 23 years ago. I hadn't sung it in years and then something tugged that mental thread bringing it to mind. I realized I couldn't recall all the lyrics. Thanks to Rex for posting them back in `99 and uncountable thanks and best wishes to Carly Sciaky.

HI. you have me so confused, so tearful, so full of love and understanding nothing but empathy, and compassion; i was humbled a long time ago YES I know. See how life can be so mentally devastating...that what I felt in your presence; someone who knew me
so intimitly that just breathing the same air was somehow a sexual experience....Now I complete my material and mundane issues of human existance...my own unique experience placed before me karma I've learned...but life so new; so amazingly new...it's true,; for me it's
ever new....I admit it; ok, I do remember you.CS

Hey - I want to drive around Lake Superior. Anybody want to do it with me?

I've done Erie, Huron, and Michiganl and I want to do all five. I was hoping to get Rick Fielding to drive around Lake Ontario with me, but he left us before I got around to it.

....and "Under the Quarter Moon" is now available on a Carla Sciaky album called Rewind: the Vinyl Years. Clever album title, eh? - although I've never actually seen anybody rewind an LP....

You can listen to the song on Carla's Myspace site. Beautiful song - it sounds very familiar. I wonder if anybody else has recorded it. Gee, this is wonderful stuff. Every song on her MySpace site is a gem - but "Quarter Moon" set me into Great Lakes nostalgia and brought a tear to my eye.

Ok, got the words to Carla Sciaky's "Under the Quarter Moon." Such a beautiful song. Now where can I buy something with the tune on it? Tried to find the cds "Keepers" and "Faire Wind Snowed In" with no success, and the cd by the same name is out of print.

Hi! Well, Carla wrote the song or at least holds the copyright to it because we had to pay her $40 to record it on Faire Wind Snowed In.

What is Carla doing these days? She seems to have dropped out of sight and the EMail contact and phone number I had doesn't work. I'd like her to play at my folk club - anybody got a contact for her? (please DON'T publish it - I figure she likes her privacy. Just say you have one and I'll post a contact for me).

This song also is on the MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) CD called Keepers. It may still be in print, and if it is, you should be able to order it directly from them. It has a bunch of great songs on it by various performers, so would not be a bad acquisition in any case.

I dug out the album last night. It seems it isn't in print at this time. And the title is indeed "Under the Quarter Moon", Propinquity Records, 1988. No wonder I couldn't think of it. I didn't say before that the song was written by her. (Carla) As you're not likely to find the words elsewhere and spreading Carla's name around seems like a good thing, here's the words to it.

UNDER THE QUARTER MOON
(Carla Sciaky, Salonica Publishing Co.)

Chorus:
As the wind slips over your waters
Sing to me sweetly Superior
Sing me a Chippewa Story
Under the quarter moon

Who has walked along your shoreline
Sweetly sing, sweetly sing
Ancient footsteps washed before mine
Under the quarter moon

chorus:

Who has tasted your lilting breezes
Sweetly sing, sweetly sing
And watched the cycle of your seasons
Under the quarter moon

chorus:

Who has heeded your murmured warnings
Sweetly sing, sweetly sing
Of coming storms with snowy winds roaring
Under the quarter moon

chorus:

Who like me has sat daydreaming
Sweetly sing, sweetly sing
Lulled by your crystal waters gleaming
Under the quarter moon

chorus:

Would that I possessed your vision
Sweetly sing, sweetly sing
Your timeless eyes and silent wisdom
Under the quarter moon

chorus:

Now then, while that album isn't around anymore, here is what she has available. I figure a plug for Carla won't hurt anyone.

Awakening
Spin the Weaver's Song
Wishes and Dreams: Songs composed with kids, for kids

These are available at Swallow Hill in Denver
(see above for website)
Also available at Elderly Instruments (www.elderly.com)

Alright, I'm done now.

As the moon slips over your waters,
Sing to me softly Superior,
Sing me a Chippewa story,
Under the quarter moon.

That was recorded by Carla Sciaky in the '80s on the label Propinquity Records. Now the all important title of the album? I can't recall of course. You might check with Swallow Hill in Denver. It's a folk music organization. (www.swallowhill.com) They had a wonderful benefit concert for Singout! last night.

Hi, Oldsalt - if you come across the lyrics, please post them here. there are a few of us here who are quite interested in Great Lakes songs. If you don't get a reply here, I'd suggest you might like to try Lee Murdock (click here) who has recorded a lot of Great Lakes Music.
