16 Oct 20 - 11:23 AM (#4075667) Subject: Lyr Req: Chesapeake Bay Songs From: saulgoldie A song ran through my mind this morning. I can't remember the exact name of the song. And I can't find the CD that I heard it on. I have searched extensively on the Interwebs, and...nothing. The CD was for a benefit for the Chesapeake Bay. It was sold at a music festival somewhere in the 90s somewhere (I think) in St Mary's County. I think the insert was tan/yellow. It includes songs like "Chesapeake Morning" by Schooner Fare; "Chesapeake Born/Chesapeake Free" The lyrics I recall are: "From the Pocomoke to the Nanticoke, the Choptank, and the Chester, Down the Susquehana, the Severn and the James, (something, something)...her spreading waters, Pray for the Chesapeake Bay, for our sons and daughters." Other'n that, I just have fragments of the lyrics. I would be glad to find the song to listen to; gladder to find where I can buy the CD. Thanks! Saul |

16 Oct 20 - 01:35 PM (#4075680) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Chesapeake Bay Songs From: GUEST,m "... the Travelers performed a song called "Chesapeake." Written by Mr. Renfro, its lively chorus had the governor tapping his toes. From the Pocomoke to the Nanticoke The Choptank and the Chester Down the Susquehanna The Severn and the James Potomac and Patuxent Into the spreading waters Pray there's a Chesapeake Bay For our sons and daughters In fact, the governor was so inspired, says his staff, that he suggested an album of bay-related songs be produced to generate income for cleanup projects. Thus was born "Bay Folk," a collection of songs with a bay theme, including the Travelers' own "Chesapeake." Another of Mr. Renfro's songs, "Let the Last Image Fall," about the disappearance of buffalo herds on the great plains, won him a coveted songwriting award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, one of the country's premier folk events. In fact, both Mr. Renfro and Mr. Bailey were invited to Kerrville to give special performances..." https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1991-03-03-1991062207-story.html |

I think it's being re-released in 97, perhaps with a reunion concert in Baltimore." Found that online. Good luck. |
