  • Hello

    Lew...

    You're reminding me of just how much I miss my campfire days. When Grandpa Pete (Seeger) visited our Summer camp when I was a youngster,"Clementine" was one that we could ALL join in on. I find it ironic how,after all these years,the song still has such a powerful and positive affect on my spirit. Thank you for providing both the memory and good vibes!

    Pax,
