Hearing about the boy scouts, this song popped into my head.....




And I couldn't help but thinking that this is not being done to a song, but to our country. Maybe it's just my mood at the moment.

To the younger generation who do not know of Melanie or this song, this is real folk music and we could use all of it and more today. Inspire and unite us with musical talent! Help bring this genre back to us all!
