Well, I went out on a limb and created a sing along event at our nature center, Ivy Creek Foundation.
The songs were mostly about nature and animals. The picture above is the Education building where we did the sing along. This is the same building they have presentations on all sorts of things like frogs, bats, astronomy, birding, beekeeping, hiking, tracking. (and now...singing)
It was a small but very appreciative audience tonight. I think all the songs about Bears were probably my favorites. Do you know these songs, "The Bear Went Over the Mountain", "Waltzing With Bears" and "Teddy Bear's Picnic"? --they are fun songs to sing.
I also got a little crazy and created a few parodies. Here is one:
Ivy Creek (Edelweiss)
Ivy Creek, Ivy Creek
It’s a nice place to meet friends
Bird watchers, trail blazers
I am happy to be here
Meet at the barn for a morning walk
Birding walk together
Ivy Creek, Ivy Creek
Bless these trails and forever
We ended the evenings singing a few songs from the peace movement, "Down By the Riverside", "Blowin' in the Wind", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "If I had a Hammer."
It was fun! Oh and if you are reading this and you live around here, I am doing another sing along there on July 3rd at 3:30. Why not come and sing and then go out for a hike!
