Camp Song Book

Last night I was driving home and to pass the time I was singing every camp song I could think of. But I couldn't think of all of them! SO I thought "know what would be cool? A camp songbook! I'm gona make one!"

How it works. If you have a song that you think should be in a camp songbook, send me an email or post it here. I'm mostly looking for lyrics, but if you have the score to any song, send me a copy by snail mail and I'll put those in too. And if the song is in Rise Up singing, just tell me the name of the song becasue I have a copy of that book.

What I'm looking for. Anything that we sing at camp. All the songs we sing during morning and evening meetings. Any songs you wrote about camp. I mean everything. From Both Hands to I Almost Lost My Eye to all the rounds we sing. I want it all!

How to send me stuff. By email at Vlane at colusanet.com. Or snail mail at:

 Victor Lane
 P.O. Boxe 620
 Dunnigan, CA, 95937

What to do now. Send me songs! When I get all the songs I think I'll get, I'll print them all out and send them to who ever wants them, for free. I really hope this idea works, so send me songs!

(Disclaimer: If this has been done before, two things. 1, oops sorry. And 2, how can I get a copy?)
