about

A song by Michael Kelly Blanchard. I learnt it from Peter Campbell, who learnt it from Noel Paul Stookey. There's along back story to that. I've been singing it since 1982 - in all sorts of seasons.

MKB gave me permission to record his song and share it. When he heard the recording he emailed and said "Nicely done. The harmonica at the end reminded me, in evoking camp fire memories, of a clever intro Noel Stookey gave to the Quail Song years ago. He enjoined the audience to remember the worst camping trip they'd ever been on then multiply by forty years to give some pertinent human context to the song he was about to sing. :-)"
