You’ve earned it. A couple of Sundays ago you posted one of Buddy’s photos and said on Monday we would carry on. I’ve been carrying the words and melody of an old folk song that became an anthem of the civil rights movement in my head ever since.

Carry It On
“ There's a man by my side walking
There's a voice within me talking,
There's a word that needs a sayin’,
Carry on, carry it on. Carry on, carry it on“
(It was later recorded by Joan Baez and Judy Collins)
Gil Turner was a prominent American folksinger and songwriter in Greenwich Village in the early ‘60’s. He was the first to record Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't Think Twice."
What a terrible indictment of America that this song needed to be written.
What a benediction of America’s best soul that it holds within it people such as Gil Turner, Len Chandler, and Joan Baez to bring forth a song of this simple magnificence.
Evil will always be countered with truth and courage.
Hope you read Sheila B's inspiring words this morning. From mourning, care of her daughters, return to art, walks with dog Kiri... to a touching embrace of subscribers on the forum.
Thanks, Ellie. The younger Joan had such a beautiful soprano singing voice, not that the still doesn't sing well. I first saw her in Boulder, Colorado, with her husband David Harris, in 1968.
Well, she went to the same High School as I in Palo Alto and was my friend's older sister's best friend. She was years ahead of us but we first heard her name when we were in Junior High when word got around that she refused to go home during an atomic bomb practice alert. She has been ahead of the times all of her life!!

Yes, I did. See my response to her great words.
I did see your caring words, Richard. My response was meant to encourage Eric.
Eric you’re such a honey

I’m coming back to double-endorse this great find of an edit function! It’s the little things in life…
Hallelujah! Great find, Bruce! Trying out our new edit option! Yay!
I just found the dots, did the edit, and then deleted my
'oops' message.
Thanks, Bruce, I have always looked for the three dots to right and had not seen them by "Delete."
Thanks so much, Ellie!
I like this version by Len Chandler and The Broadside Singers. Reminds me of a spiritual being sung as gospel.
Have a wonderful Sunday, Candace and all!
