From "River", by Bill Staines
River, take me along
In your sunshine, sing me a song
Ever moving, and winding and free;
You rolling old river, you changing old river,
Let's you and me, river, run down to the sea. |
Bill Staines entered the Boston area folk scene in the 1960s, as a
regular performer at Club 47 in Cambridge, now Passim. His music
ranges from traditional folk to country, and has been called "a
slice of Americana". In 1975, he won the National Yodeling
Championships, and regularly performs several songs which feature
his yodeling.
Bill is a popular performer, driving over 65,000 miles a year to
play at folk venues throughout the country. He has also appeared on
Prairie Home Companion and a few other TV shows.
Bill lives in Dover, New Hampshire. I have included an excerpt
from his song "River", often an audience favorite which he is
expected to end a performance with.
The Cache:
NOTE: The river has again flooded and I believe carried off
the cache. The clump of trees where it was hidden now has a hollow
trench in front of it where the river flowed through the place last
week. Plus, the path leading to the river is getting a bit brushy,
probably not fun in summer. So I have moved it inland, and it is
now a P&G.
This cache is, where else, near a river. If you follow a short
trail from the corner of the road, you will come to a nice place to
watch the river flow by.
