Hi Everyone,
Each week we learn something new that we can or cannot do on Zoom. Clearly, rhythm drills just aren’t that easy to do. I was so hopeful because I love Ruthie’s rhythm drills but its not to be.
This week we will begin with two more folk songs lead by Ruthie and a review of the If I Had Wings song. A good time to just sing out at home and entertain the neighbors.
1. Pack up your sorrows by Richard Farina
No use cryin’, talking to a stranger
Namin’ the sorrow you’ve seen
Too many sad times, too many bad times
Nobody knows what you mean
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
No use ramblin’, walkin’ in the shadows
Trailin’ a wanderin’ star
No one beside you, no one to hide you
Nobody knows where you are
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
No use gamblin’ runnin’ in the darkness
Looking for spirit that’s free
Too many wrong times, too many long times
Nobody knows what you see
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
No use roamin’, lying by the roadside
Seekin’ a satisfied mind
Too many highways, too many byways
And nobody’s walkin’ behind
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
2. You’ve got a friend. Carole King
When you’re down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes, I will
3. If I had Wings
If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly
The bird sings, no one asks why
I can see in myself wings as I feel them
If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself
I’ll fly free then
Yesterday’s eyes see their colors fading away
They see their sun turning to grey
You can’t share in a dream, that you don’t believe in
If you say that you see and pretend to be me
You won’t be then
How can you ask if I’m happy goin’ my way?
You might as well ask a child at play!
There’s no need to discuss or understand me
I won’t ask of myself to become something else
I’ll just be me!
If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly
The bird sings, and no one asks her why
I can see in myself wings as I feel them
If you see something else, keep your thoughts to yourself
I’ll fly free then
The boas and earrings have been flying off my porch. The box will be on my porch even when it rains until everyone has what they need. There are earrings for pierced and non-pierced. Just write down what you have taken. Everyone needs a boa and earrings for the video.
Comprehensive written instructions on how to take your video including background, makeup and specific instructions for different computers will be out soon. Wait for those instructions before you make your final video. Practice videos are encouraged. Your Buddy, if you have one, can help you with this. I have received audio recordings from almost everyone. If you haven’t sent me one, you know who you are! The quality of our video is going to be fantastic because everyone will know their music perfectly. Really a tremendous accomplishment.
Mark Thursday July 23rd for our special workshop. Information will be coming soon. You will not want to miss this evening.
Be prepared Thursday to continue work on It don’t mean a thing plus Sway which will be our next song for a virtual video.
See you Thursday. Alice
I have a boa and the earrings. I could pick up and deliver for others if needed. Wow is this typeface tiny! Or is it just me?
Hello All!
We’ll be singing the 2 new folk songs listed above in the Director’s notes! In addition we’ll be repeating If I Had Wings.
Also, We got the wrong earrings for Deb. She needs clip ons and mistakenly I got pierced. Can she switch?
