Weekend Music Chill

As a youngster, I pretty much flunked church. (I was also expelled from kindergarten, but that's a story for another day.) During services I would fidget, goof-off, fall asleep and say the liturgy with strange accents. I'm not proud of my shenanigans, but Lutheran services were pretty tough on youngsters. Now I love getting to church; part of the reason is that the music really speaks to my heart as well as helping me express my worship of God. So for my weekend music, here is Ron Kenoly with one of my favorite worship songs.

Weekend Music Chill

When I was growing up, Pops always had an eclectic variety of music on the stereo: classical, country and western, and folk. (No rock and roll for him.) I wasn't aware of it at the time, but many of the folk singers we heard in our youth were pretty much lefties, Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Cisco Houston to name a few. Didn't seem to harm me much, as I grew into the libertarian leaning conservative and otherwise fine upstanding citizen. I was particularly fond of some of Ian and Sylvia's tunes, especially V'la Le Bon Vent (and yes Paul, you ultra-rightist, I took French in high school.) I couldn't find Ian and Sylvia's version of that tune on YouTube but I came across a group called the McDades who rock! So here are the McDades with a traditional French-Canadian chanson à répondre (a round).
