I learned this song in music today.Im in third grade and texting.I go to parkwood elementrey school in front of northside high school in mrs.woodard class
my 2nd son was born in 1983 and this was our dancing and lullabye song. and, his first concert at school included him singing and dancing this song. sweet memories!
I first heard this song in either 1984 or 1985, Grian Solomon, a wonderful puppetteer performed this to a transfixed crowd in Ashokan, a magical music camp run by Jay Ungar. If someone ever recorded her puppet show, it ought to get posted here somewhere.
Thanks so much for sharing his so delighful video! A nice treatment of one of my favorite songs. I have adored this song since hearing Gordon Bok, Ed Trikket and Anne Muir sing it! Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wallting with Bears is on the Bok,Miur and Trckett album called "Minneapolis Concert" from 1987. It is on Folk Legacy Recordings. Speaking of versions of Waltzing With Bears does anyone know what happened to the Tommy Maken version that was on youtube and has now vanished along with all of shakemcflys other videos??
I also heard it first from Bok, Trikket & Muir, fell in love & brought it back to my guitar workshop. It was on their 1987 Folk-Legacy LP "Minneapolis Concert"
My son is one month old, I've been singing the song to him for this past month at least once a day, thankfully someone sings it so much better than I do. A friend of mine, Grian Solomon wrote two verses about twenty five years ago, and she did a puppet show with it, and this rendition was at least as good. Thank you.
Dear Buddy, how different Diane looks but she still has her same glorious voice. But Buddy, I can't seem to get these videos on this youtube to give me more then a second or two of video sound. Do you have any suggestions. I went to the help menue and did everything they said, and it's still not playing right. Tell me how I can fix this, your friend Pauline
HI Pauline, sorry I havent looked at this page in a long time, and did not know you posted a comment. I can only guess that your computer is the problem. Does it play DVD's or other videos from web pages? If no, then it is the computer speed, or connection problem. If it does play other video, then I have no idea. Did you get it to work in the meantime?
