Here's one that I remember ...

IF I HAD A HAMMER

Seeger/Hayes- Ludlow Music Corp. - BMI

If I had a hammer,
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening,
All over this land

I'd hammer out danger,
I'd hammer out a warning,
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

If I had a bell,
I'd ring it in the morning,
I'd ring it in the evening,
All over this land

I'd ring out danger,
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

If I had a song,
I'd sing it in the morning,
I'd sing it in the evening,
All over this land

I'd sing out danger,
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

Well I got a hammer,
And I got a bell,
And I got a song to sing, all over this land.

It's the hammer of Justice,
It's the bell of Freedom,
It's the song about Love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

It's the hammer of Justice,
It's the bell of Freedom,
It's the song about Love between my brothers and my sisters,
All over this land.

I am saddened. What wonderful harmony they made. Too soon, 72, gee I'm now over seventy, mom is 100 plus one month.

I'm happy with my life as it is now, close to God, family, friends, home.

Plus the added benefit of owning the greatest stress relief known to the American car enthusiast, a tire burning, high revving, quick handling, fast accelerating, eye catching, G-rated, supercharged, late model Mercury Marauder. Of course owners of other makes and models may disagree. But what do they know.

Man, celebrities are dropping like flies these days, or maybe it's just that I'm getting older and noticing more...:(

[Joe Walsh]

RIP Mary...that was my favorite song when I was a little kid.

No it's not just you, my 17 year old said the same thing last night. He says it's a conspiracy. :dunno: Too many have gone for me to argue that fact.

IMHO, their best song was Puff the Magic Dragon.

Went to see them at WolfTrap. Only two showed up. Guess that was a sign....
