The Water is Wide
A 1724 English ballad originally known as "O Waly, Waly."

Wild Mountain Thyme
A Scottish tune attributed to Francis McPeake (depending, of course, on who you ask).

Florida Sand
Will McLean, songwriter laureate of Florida, wrote this “Unoffical State Song,” 
sung by thousands who have learned to love our precious and delicate state.

Autumn Leaves
A popular French poet, Jacques Prevert, wrote of dead leaves (”Les Feuilles Mortes”) to inspire 
Joseph Kosma's music. Johnny Mercer translated.

Karitas (H)abundat 
Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) was the most published woman in history. 
This chant of charity is a poetic meditation.

Sparrow
Paul Simon's poetic answer to everyday excuses.

Sandhill Crane
We who live in Florida see and hear more and more Sandhill Cranes in our neighborhoods as they 
learn to adapt to human migration into their swampland. Another masterpiece by Will McLean, 
a folk hero for endangered Florida.

Happy Bowls 
At the end of what seemed like a hard day, this song emerged. 
May "happy" be waiting at the end of your day.
