MOHAWK HUNTING SONG
a stomp dance, with added hornrattles…it’s just a snippet of the entire stomp dance
AS THE CROW FLIES
A lighthearted children’s song
SHENANDOAH
the wonderful American folk ballad
SPIRIT KEEPER
Barbara’s lament for an image she saw in a tree during a reflective moment
WHIPPOORWILL STORY
Barbara composed this for a very dear friend
WHIPPOORWILL
Barbara and Barry’s lyrics to matched the melody created
DADDY WILL WE DANCE IN THE GRASS
while at a Powwow, this song capsulizes what happened when a friend asked if he could borrow a phone. Her question when he
called is the title of this piece
WHEN THE BUFFALO COME BACK
written by terrific singer/songwriter, David Crossland (https://www.davecrossland.com/) this song is one of our most requested
songs to perform
WHAT ABOUT ME
A song we remember for the Vietnam era by QuickSilver Messenger Service. We adjusted the lyrics to fit what was happening to
friends in NY
COUNTING COUP ON THE HIGHWAY
we do not endorse people doing this. It’s just a lighthearted song looking for a laugh. So, again, do not do this in real life
WARREN
we were driving along PA turnpike when we saw a memorial marker simply stating: “don’t drink and drive.” It is our song
dedicated to those who won against substance abuse, those who lost, and those still in the fight.
BEAUTIFUL RIVER
written by the incomparable Bruce Davies (https://www.brucedavies.com/) from Scotland. He graciously allowed us to record
his song with our own individual take
LEARN HOW TO LIVE
Barbara wrote this complete with melody and Barry just arranged it for recording. It is to ensure everyone that the pressures
of adulthood can be eased if we just take a page from the play yard.
