Pete Seeger, RIP

The great Pete Seeger has died.   A popularizer of folk music from all over the world, and a troubadour for civil rights, workers equity, and the environment, he was 94. Back in 1990, Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie, produced a double album, and one of the songs on it was written by Pete, with lyrics by Lee Hays, who was one of the members of the The Weavers folk group, and who also wrote "If I Had a Hammer," and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine." The song is entitled In Dead Earnest . Lyrics below: In Dead Earnest   If I should die before I wake All my bone and sinew take Put them in the compost pile To decompose a little while Sun, rain and worms will have their way Reducing me to common clay All that I am will feed the trees And little fishes in the seas When corn and radishes you munch You may be having me for lunch Then excrete me with a grin Chortling, There goes Lee again 'Twill be my happiest destiny To die and live eternally - by Lee Hays, 1981.

bounce

Image
Sunshine, parrot tulips, and overstuffed pillows are all little bits of "happy" that put a bounce in my step. I bought myself a bouquet on Friday. On Saturday I used up some eco-fil and wool to make pillows (old fabric from my stash- I think Joel Dewberry). And every moment that I can, I put my face up to the sun and thank it for finally shining down on us! So, I'm sending a little bounce for your step this Monday morning- this tulip is for YOU!
