Dorion Bible Camp Songs Home Recordings

.

Six years ago I began recording Dorion Bible Camp songs (the "card" songs). Recently with "Stay at Home", I've begun catching up.

Because it has so many embedded videos, the page takes a while to load (at least with my slow connection), so I've moved it from being the first page you see. So I've moved it to earlier in the year.

New Year's Eve: Dec. 31/25

.

With K, J, A & M, plus Tam, and Sean.

Snacks (I brought Bran Muffin squares, which M liked); Cards Vs Humanity; some crokinole v. K; watched some fireworks on YouTube; Tam & K played Mind Bender (Mastermind knockoff) while I counted my Dutch Blitz cards and went outside to search in vain for a missing card. We wrapped up before 2200h.

Open Mic at The Foundry: Dec. 29/25

.

It was the Bill (host), John, and Rich show. I had no theme. I don't know enough songs on one idea (except love, I guess).

Song For a Winter's Night (Lightfoot),
I'll Remember You (Dylan),
I Threw It All Away (Dylan), and
You're Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go (Dylan).
------
Highway 61 Revisited (Dylan),
Happy Together (Bonner/Gordon),
I Will (Lennon/MCCARTNEY),
At This Moment (Vera), and
St. James Infirmary (Trad.).

Okay, I guess, except for Hwy 61, my theme was love, after all. Go figure.
