Subject: RE: Origins: Looking for the author of Manistee River From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Jan 03 - 11:07 AM I fixed the link Richie posted. That page also has a recording of Stielstra's song. Now the page before (click) the song page has this bit of wisdom: Makes me feel downright homesick. |
Subject: RE: Origins: Looking for the author of Manistee River From: Art Thieme Date: 20 Jan 03 - 10:56 AM JAY STIELSTA is a fine writer of songs also. Songs like Like "Tittabawassee Jane" and "Grand Marais" that I first learned from Craig Johnson ----. I believe he is/was a football coach in Ann Arbor. As my old uncle used to lament, "Where do da time go??" As the late John Hartford said, "I Wish We Had Our Time Again". Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: Origins: Looking for the author of Manistee River From: GUEST Date: 20 Jan 03 - 08:42 AM No, this not "The Manistee River" I sing. Would you think there are two songs about the Manistee river? It's not that great of a river, sorry Michigan folks. lloyd64 |
Subject: Lyr Add: BANK BEAVER LAMENT (Jay Stielstra) From: Richie Date: 20 Jan 03 - 07:31 AM Sorry link didn't work. "the song" (original title "Lament for Jim Baker", now know as "Bank Beaver Lament") Will the whippoorwill call by the river tonight and the big trout rise to the fly; will old friends gather in the campfire light as we have in the years gone by? Will we talk small as we always have done and pretend to change not a thing? Will one of us there strum the guitar and pick out a song to sing? Oh the Manistee River runs through Deward and the Manistee runs through Sharon; she flows I know when we're thinking of love and she flows when nobody's caring. Will she run clear as Stolichnaya from the yellow trees to the ranch; will the beer stay cold in the Mecum Bar when the mayflies rise to dance? Will the weather be as unpredictable and the fishing as well the same; will we carry on as we always have done and scarcely mention his name? Oh the Manistee River runs through Deward and the Manistee runs through Sharon; she flows I know when we're thinking of love and she flows when nobody's caring. Will the solitary mink hunt on her bank and the coyotes sing out tonight; will bank beavers gather at their favorite hole in the late June's warm twilight? Will the Manistee River give us a nod to show that she really knows we're weaker and fewer this year by one and trying to not let it show. Oh the Manistee River runs through Deward and the Manistee runs through Sharon; she flows I know when we're thinking of love and she flows when nobody's caring. Music and lyrics by Jay Stielstra © |
