It's on my Fire Within cd by Libana. would really love to get the words without stopping and starting the darn thing. Some of the words, I can get: When the stormy billows roar, thou cans't spare?? me through every passion cans't control thanks, kat |

Karen and I have gone there on numerous occasions and it is simply beautiful and educational too. Lots of books for sale including songbooks. I'll send you some info on the place. 8 or 9 years ago, Karen and her grandmother spent a weekend there in the original buildings. You'd love the place. Wait a minute.... Yep...everybody got a website don't they? Here they are. Mainly associated with New England as you know, a lot of people aren't aware of the Kentucky colony. It did quite well and is now simply a beautiful place. Spaw |

Thank you so much; the tunes are beautiful as wildlone says. what a wonderful and peaceful looking place. Makes me want to simplify and throw off thre trappings of modernity! Oh, and I am going to learn both fo those songs; alreayd know simple Gifts, but not all the way through. luvyaKat |

31 Dec 99 - 05:00 PM (#156220) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ode to Contentment -Shaker Trad From: catspaw49 Unforunately on of the Shaker's simple gifts was celibacy. All the stone that they used in building Pleasant Hill was quarried about 4 miles down in the pallisades of the Kentucky River. When Karen and I were there the first time, a guide was explaining the quarry work after just discussing celibacy. I couldn't keep my mouth shut of course and said, "Well, I know what they used to chisel it out.".......In the somewhat proper looking crowd, it got nary a laugh....and Karen was acting as though she didn't know me for some reason.
