It describes the pictureqsque town of Berkeley Springs, a spa and resort town in West Virginia. It tell of how God created a special place for this scenic village, complete with a castle. If anyone has the lyrics, please post them here. Thank You. SOL ZELLER |

Here's a link to the cover page of one of them, the link at the bottom of the page will take you to the following pages: Berkeley Springs Schottisch. Mick |

It is definitely not old enough to be in the Lester Levy collection. It was copyrighted in 1989 by a fellow named Bill Beaver. It was recorded on the same casette as 2 other Bill Beaver songs, "Green Eyed Angel" and "Old Blue". The tape was purchased at a gift shop at Cacapon State Park during a vacation about 12 years ago.

Back in the olden days (when I was single) I used to spend many weekends in Berkeley Springs and the surrounding area. I had one friend who would sometimes drive up with me just for the day. We'd take a swim in the Coolfont Lake, eat in the Treetop Restaurant, maybe shop at House of Musical Traditions or visit the craft shops in town, then drive back to D.C. Can't remember if I visited the castle or not but I saw it. It's a really special place for me. |
