The funny thing was, when I was looking for a solstice song to post, most of them were about the winter solstice.
Ed, I love English folk music.
QD, take a gander over at Enriched Geranium for a different kind of solstice song. I know you'll appreciate it. http://enrichedgeranium.blogspot.com/2008/06/happy-solstice.html
And BTW, Ed -- just in case you were bristling when I said they were cute. They remind me of the boys I went to high school with, like ... you. For example.
Proud to be a public school teacher for 26 years, I see teaching as a radical act. Practitioner of Neo-schoolmarmism. School Library Media Specialist. I am a convinced Quaker, born again agnostic, mother of 3 daughters, passionate about issues of peace and social justice. My mom was a "red diaper baby", my dad was a conscientious objector during WW2, and I grew up in the thick of anti-war protests in Madison, Wisconsin in the sixties. Not a Republican bone in my body and not many Democratic ones either.

Nice, thanks! Happly solstice to you!
I was trying to pick out the young Richard Thosmpson. Wow, they are just babies......
He's the curly-haired guitar player who has his eyes closed almost the whole time.
I'd never heard this song before. It's a great example of those asymmetrical old english melodies of which I'm very fond.
Verse: 1st line = 12 beats, 2nd line = 10 beats (kind of weird), 3rd line = 15 beats (extra weird).
Chorus: 1st & 2nd lines = 12 beats each. 3rd line = 16 beats.
16 beat interlude.
Repeat.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing it.
Happy Solstice Suzy!
Man, now that's what I call a hair band.
And I had all their albums, back when they were still called "albums." {{sigh}}
Happy day, all.
The summer solstice is my wedding anniversary... we picked the longest day of the year to celebrate our love.
Pam, what a great anniversary!

Suzie, I was thinking of you all day yesterday.

They are good. Hope you are enjoying your summer as best you can..
