The Happy Wanderer or Der fröhliche Wanderer was written by Friedrich-Wilhelm Möller . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Happ...

I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
Chorus
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky!

Laurie Wayburn -- Cello
Diana Wayburn -- Flute

The memorial was organized by Ed's daughter Laurie Wayburn, President of the Pacific Forest Trust
