A neo-folk favorite of Sunapee Arts Camp, for all my far-flung but not forgotten summer friends and once-family, forged, as was I, by the ever-beyond-describing joy & intimacy of that yester-world, 'There on the hill,' where 'mem'ry stands still,'

Today's The Only Day - Words & Music (c)1972 Joseph Marcello

While the first upload was, once upon a time, made for a pristine, scratch-free commercial soundtrack for an educational filmstrip entitled 'Choices,' -- this is the unshaven JM solo Arlo Guthrie vintage original version.

Your choice!

Today's The Only Day Of My Life - Original JM

A straight-from-the-messhall recording of the beginning-of-summer song hug, welcoming --but also warning -- its singers & hearers that 'This, too, shall pass. . .'

There am I, perched on the tall messhall stool by the sink, and there are you, heads up, mouths wide, like little birds before the feeding.

Can you hear your young, beautiful, ever-so-innocent child's voice in the mix somewhere?

I can. . .

Blessings,

-J.

Welcome To This Land - JM

Whoops! My apologies about 'Welcome' -- it wasn't in the dining hall but rather solo, too.

To make up for the omission, I include the camp signature song, 'Golden Arrow' -- written before the name change; how wistful and pure this music strikes me now, a half century after its creation!
