"American Tapestry" - Woodland Chamber Singers

Left: Sally Forment (at far left) introduces "He Is Not Here" by Russell Nagy.

Left: Bob Edmondson at left leads "I've Been Working On The Railroad", the first song of a four-song sing-a-long.

I've been working on the railroad, all the live-long day.
I've been working on the railroad, just to pass the time away.
Can't you here the whistle blowing, rise up so early in the morn,
Don't you hear the captain shouting, "Dinah, blow your horn!"


Left: Olivia Kraft (fourth from left) sings a solo in "Tis A Gift To Be Simple"

Left: Artistic Director Tracia Barbieri, at left, leads bows.

I'm glad that Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind" (the second-to-the-last song of the program) is now so familiar (protest politics notwithstanding) that it has now found a permanent home in America's folk-music repertoire.
