[HANASHIR:9741] Re: May There Always Be Sunshine

[LBerkson <LBerkson...>]

I believe this song was also recorded by Pete Seeger, and it may be in the 
song/wordbook Rise Up Singing, though my copy is not handy at the moment to 
check it.

  Rise Up Singing is published by the folk song publication Sing Out! Magazine 
(exclamation point intentional, it's part of their title).  This is a songbook 
with words and chords to about 1,200 songs (including some Hebrew songs in 
transliteration) organized by theme with a comprehensive index and a section on 
rounds with the music included.  Each song has a recording reference as well, 
so if you are looking at the words and chords but don't know how a particular 
song goes you can at least which recording it's on.  I'm currently on my 2nd 
copy of Rise Up Singing.  My first one fell apart from years of use at camps, 
singalongs, etc.

Sing Out! is a nonprofit organization and has a website, www.singout.org as 
well as a resource feature available to subscribers.  This is an incredible 
magazine, by the way, for anyone interested in any type of world/folk music.  
Lots of great articles, features on performers, "teach-ins" on different 
instruments, children's music column, songfinder section, a number of songs 
published in each issue, and more... Having been a subscriber for many years, I 
highly recommend it.  In addition to the magazine, Sing Out! has published 
several songbooks which are available through their catalog.
