Monday Sing-along, advance posting! Goodnight Irene

Well, Hurricane Irene has passed.  "Goodnight Irene, I'll see you in my dreams."

This is the way I learned the song in the early 60s, from Pete Seeger on Mt. Tamalpais in Northern California. He came to sing for us at a campground every year. One of the gentlest men in the world. It was a privilege to sit at his feet while he sang.

Just. Like. This.


Thank you, Mr. Seeger. (sorry, can't find that film he is showing at the end)

The original, Huddie Ledbetter - "Leadbelly":



Aw heck, while we're at it, the delicious voice of Mississippi John Hurt:

Black Uhuru on a Monday

Blue Monday - Fats Domino

Stormy Monday

Prepare yourself. Politics as UnUsual. Anarchists control DC.

Death Cab for Cutie: Monday Morning

For Kate

She may be young but she only likes old things.
The modern music it ain't to her taste
She loves the natural life, captured in black and white.

Monday is my Favorite Time of Year
