That is one of my favorite songs to sing along with! I remember when it was on the radio all the time.

[Hello Goodbye]

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

        King Solomon      Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Pete Seeger discusses "Turn, Turn, Turn" with Daniel Sheehy

I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Seeger in concert at Cornell in 1990. In addition to the great music he seemed like a genuinely kind, down-to-earth person.

I've listened to this quite a few times lately.

One more time, Todd...

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sah,
So that every mouth can be fed.
Poor, poor me-Israelite, sah.

Wife and my kids, dem pack up and-a leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to receive.
Poor, poor me-Israelite, sah.

Shirt dem a tear up, trousers a go.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
Poor, poor me-Israelite, sah.

After a storm there must be a calm.
Catch me in your farm..you sound an alarm.
Poor, poor me-Israelite.


Israelites?  Well yes, Rastafarians believe they are descended from one of the ‎Twelve Tribes of Israel.

I've been listening to the Eagles lately.  They didn't just do Hotel California.  They had a lot of good songs.

I've always wondered - what was "There's a new kid in town" all about?

While I'm at it:  Who was Stevie Nicks singing about in the song "Sarah?"  Was this a real person or just a fictional person to write a song about?  I suppose I could google it but I don't feel like googling every time I have a question about something.
