Family Tree Sept 15 2013
I just sent everyone Family Tree. I can't figure out how to post it here.
Try this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZLb2aN4A44&feature=em-share_video_user
This is for Sept 15 which is a intergen. service The words are very " wordy" so
I'm thinking the verses will be solos and all on chorus, even congregation. There are hand gestures too! I sent them to Theresa to see if she wants to teach the kids.
Please consider if you'd like to do a verse and claim one. I just ordered the songbook so we'll have it by our next rehearsal.
Family Tree

© 1988 Limousine Music Co. & The Last Music Co. (ASCAP)
Before the days of Jello
Lived a prehistoric fellow,
Who loved a maid and courted her
Beneath the banyan tree.
And they had lots of children.
And their children all had children.
And they kept on having children
Until one of them had me!
We're a family and we're a tree.
Our roots go deep down in history
From my great-great-granddaddy reaching up to me,
We're a green and growing family tree.
My grandpa came from Russia;
My grandma came from Prussia;
They met in Nova Scotia,
Had my dad in Tennessee.
Then they moved to Yokohama
Where Daddy met my Mama.
Her dad's from Alabama and her mom's part Cherokee.
We're a family and we're a tree.
Our roots go deep down in history
From my great-great-granddaddy reaching up to me,
We're a green and growing family tree.
Well one fine day I may go
To Tierra Del Fuego.
Perhaps I'll meet my wife there
And we'll move to Timbuktu.
And our kid will be bilingual,
And though she may stay single,
She could, of course, comingle with the
King of Kathmandu.
'Cause we're a family and we're a tree.
Our roots go deep down in history
From my great-great-granddaddy reaching up to me,
We're a green and growing family tree.
The folks in Madagascar
Aren't the same as in Alaskar;
They got different foods, different moods
And different colored skin.
You may have a different name,
But underneath we're much the same;
You're probably my cousin and the whole world is our kin.
We're a family and we're a tree.
Our roots go deep down in history
From my great-great-grandmother reaching up to me,
We're a green and growing family tree.
We're a green and growing family.

Music for Meditation
The UUMN morning email includes a review of a meditation service they did at their conference last week. This one especially spoke to me-- it's calming but not depressing--- see if this link works:http://www.anahermusic.com/01%20kosi%20r'vaya.mp3
The words they are saying Kosi R'vaya", often translated as "My cup runneth over. I was thinking of doing this after the kids collect the cans-- always a frenetic time---- after they leave-- as a way of bringing us back to a calm space.
Here's the score!!!:

I'll see if Susan Watson can print some for us!!!
