When we lived in Fort St. John I was a Brownie leader for awhile. I had a slim book of Girl Guide songs called "Songs for Tomorrow" and I liked a lot of the songs. But the book somehow got lost over the years. I started thinking about it recently and was able to get a copy in a used bookstore in England. (amazing that I could do that without leaving my house in Canada). It arrived a few weeks ago. So far I have made a video for 3 songs from the book: Breton Fisherman's Prayer, Wandering Wind, and Bread and Fishes. There are a few more songs in the book I plan to make videos for. The book is "Compiled by S. Stevens", and some of the songs are written by her (him?). I can't find anything about S. Stevens on the Internet. Songs that were written mainly for Girl Guides tend to be very obscure--not much about them on the Internet. Mostly not on RUclips. However, "Bread and Fishes" was written in the '60's and was quite popular then. It isn't a particular Girl Guide song. So there are lots of versions of it on RUclips. "Wandering Wind" and "Breton's Fishman's Prayer" (with the music I used in my video) don't seem to be available anywhere except in the videos I made. The music for both of these was written by the mysterious S. Stevens. These days they may not use songs in Guides that have a Christian or religious connotation. So some of these songs might slip into obscurity. But there must be people out there who remember them.
Nice. That one is new to me. I love the pictures you find to go with each song.
I'm glad you like the pictures. I enjoy finding them and putting them in,
remember this as a boy long time ago great rendering
Glad you like it, and remember it!
Don’t think I’ve heard this one. But it’s nice. Where do you find them?
