It was written (as I remember it) by a woman with an aliterative name like "kathy kallick" two hard k sounds (as I remember it -- or it might have been a c and a k) Some of it is "Come on take your oars and row" and the title doesn't come directly from the lyric -- something like "Winding down a ____ ____" Surely someone here knows what song I'm thinking of? |

I could only recall bits and snatchs -- none of which was enough to do a full search. You are right now my favorite human in the world. This honor changes regularly and comes without reward. But, still.... |

Cindy is one of my favorite human beings, and you owe it to yourself to listen to some of her more recent work as well. Frogprince- I haven't heard the Mangson/Gillette version of Cindy Kallet's song, but I'd expect it to be gorgeous. Thanks. maeve |

03 Jan 09 - 10:02 PM (#2530924) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Come on take your oars From: nager Very special song from a very special lady. I found the song many years ago on a John McCormack CD and looked up the writer "C Kallet" on Google. Now, four Cindy Kallet CDs and a songbook later I have been an avid fan for a few years. Cindy Kallet has written some wonderful songs and tunes and is an incredible guitarist and singer. And yes, the Mangson/Gillette version of this song is delightful too. |
