Subject: Thanksgiving by Tom Chapin From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 08 Nov 99 - 11:36 AM On his Mother Earth album Tom Chapin has a great Thanksgiving song. Unfortunately, I don't have the recording any more, can't find it in time for Wednesday when I'd really like it, and it's not at his web page. Anyone care to share, so I can teach it to the kiddies? Thanks! Allison |

Subject: Lyr Add: THANKSGIVING DAY (Tom Chapin, J Forster) From: bbc Date: 08 Nov 99 - 05:42 PM Here's the lyrics, Allison. I have all the Tom Chapin recordings. Anything to help a fellow special area teacher! Thanksgiving Day (Tom Chapin & John Forster) When we were farmers, we hauled in the harvest And founded Thanksgiving Day. With food in the shed for the winter ahead We would gather together to say-- Chorus: Thanks for our health Thanks for our hearth And the bounty that grows from the ground. With our loved ones near We bless the year That's brought us safely 'round. Now we are shoppers. We drive to the market. The farm seems a light year away. Still, every November, we pause to remember That time-honored, old-fashioned day. Chorus Everything changes, yes, even Thanksgiving. Let's rededicate this old day to helping the hungry, the poor and the homeless So all may be able to say-- Chorus and repeat With our loved ones near We bless the year That's brought us safely 'round. bbc |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Thanksgiving Day (kids song) From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 12 Nov 99 - 02:56 PM Tom's cd "Mother Earth" has it; I'm sure it's available on CD Now (be sure you access it thru the Mudcat to give a small donation here!). If I can figure out how to send a midi file here I'll try it tonight on Noteworthy. My kids at school are loving it- all of them, from grade 1-5. We look forward to presenting it at assembly next week! Allison |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Thanksgiving by Tom Chapin From: bbc Date: 21 Nov 11 - 09:53 PM Funny that this thread would come to the top right now. I heard Tom yesterday, in a fundraiser concert for Catskill victims of Hurricane Irene. He sang that song! Roy Book Binder, Priscilla Herdman & Max Cohen (of Groovemama, etc.), Tom Chapin & Michael Mark gave us a wonderful 3 hour concert in a church sanctuary, up-close & personal. It was great!!! Tom & Michael have been performing together for 30 years. The ease & fun of that shared experience showed in their performance. I had never heard Roy before, but he is, obviously, a master of his instrument. Duane was tickled pink to see him! Priscilla sounded wonderful, as always, & Max accompanies her marvelously. The organizers of the concert sure picked a nice variety of great performers! Barbara |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Thanksgiving Day (kids song) From: bbc Date: 21 Nov 11 - 09:59 PM Hi, Allison, In the refrain, it should be "Thanks for our hearth" not "heart." I checked the CD booklet & just heard Tom sing it yesterday. Barbara |
