[musictlk] campfire songs

[Smith, Pauline L]

Good Morning,

I learned the words to "Take Me Home, Country Roads" at camp before I heard the actual song on the radio.  Two songs that come to my sleepy mind off the bat are "We've Only Just Begun" and "Sing"--both by the Carpenters.  Also, themes from old TV shows like Happy Days might be fun and something not always sung in a camp setting.

Subject: [musictlk] campfire songs

Hello,
This is a little off topic, but someone may be able to make suggestions.  Next week I will be attending a camp for blind and visually impaired adults.  Along with the traditional campfire songs that are repeat after me, at the last adult session that I only stayed two days for because I became ill at camp, we also incorporated some pop and old country songs into the mix such as Let It Be by the Beatles, Take Me Home, Country Road by John Denver, the Unicorn Song, etc.  What I would like from you all is a bunch of songs to continue that tradition.  They must not be religious as this is a nonreligious camp and cannot be about getting drunk or cheating as these are not the camp's values.  
Examples of songs I am looking for include The River by Garth Brooks, Have You Every Seen the Rain by Credence Clearwater Revival, etc.  Stuff like that.  Songs that all the adults would know and be able to easily sing along with.  Some of our themes days we have include tropical day, sports, movin and groovin which is 1960's themed, and farewell day, but I don't think there will be a campfire on farewell day since we go home at 4:00 that afternoon.  Therefore, if anyone has any suggestions of songs I could sing or suggest to the counselors to sing at one of the campfires, please share them.  And if you know the lyrics, if you could write them out to me in an offlist email, that would be helpful, but otherwise I'll look them up online before I go.
Thanks,
Kelsey Nicolay
