06 Feb 98 - 12:52 AM (#20767) Subject: Buddhists and "Precious Friend You Will Be There" From: heartlandsangha@hotmail.com There is a Buddhist event in May. I it would be fun to sing (with my Buddhist Sangha group) the song Precious Freind You Will Be There by Pete Seeger. I picked up my guitar today for the first time in 15 years. Boy, I need practice. I also need your help. I went to Carl Fishers (the big sheet music store here in Chicago) and they didn't have the sheet music to Pete Seeger's "Precious Friend." It's been so long that I can't wing it In the old days I could listen to a song and make the best of it. It's not the old days. I need: 1. Lyrics--if anyone knows where I can get them. 2. sheet music--if anyone knows where I can get them. |

06 Feb 98 - 01:02 AM (#20769) Subject: RE: Precious Friend You Will Be There/Pete Seeger From: Joe Offer It's in a Pete Seeger book from Sing Out! called "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." The number for telephone orders is 1-888-SING-OUT; but they only take orders during Eastern Standard Time business hours, so you'll have to wait until the morning or get it from Amazon or something. Lyrics and chords are also in the "Rise Up Singing" songbook. Come back here in an hour, and I'll have the lyrics and tune posted. -Joe Offer- |
