My daughters went to a camp for severl years theat had a canon of songs that everyone sang. It had benn passed down from one generation of campers to the next and whenever they would gather they would sing some of these oongs.

For me, there is a canon of songs that is part of my annual trips to camp Nin the middle of a field. In the middle of Hillsdale". Summertime is one of those songs. It is often followed by "may I suggest". "May I suggest this is the best part of our life."

that can be a hard message to hold on to. The economy is still pretty bad for a lot us us. In the past few months I've seen friends struggle with horrible illnesses and others die. Yet in all of this, "there is a hope that's been addressed inyou, the hope of seven generations, maybe more."

there are other songs that are part of the canon. It includes Dar Williams singing "Iowa" and perhaps a few other songs. It includes The Nieldand The Kennedy's.

Perhaps drawing it all together is "This is my home". Now it is time to pack and listen to a final day of music before heading home. Have you been to Falcon Ridge? What is in your #frff canon?
