Colorado Waltz

Went to WFF w/ R several weeks ago and heard a new song. "Colorado Waltz" Decided I had to learn it on the HD. First I had to find it. Could find 2 performances, but no music or lyrics. Listened the the two youtubes and got it transcribed. Am posting it here. Want it preserved. It's lovely. Have it down on the HD, will post soon. Want to go back to WFF with my flip camera and catch the 80+ lovely woman that sings it. Want to play if with her. Maybe....

Colorado Waltz

There's a place I long to be, just a mile above the sea

Where we dance to the Colorado Waltz

You can hear the fiddles play and the pine trees softly sway

As we dance to the Colorado Waltz

You can dance to the waltz of Kentucky

or the beautiful waltz of Tennessee

But your hearts will be light while you're dancing tonight

To the strains of the Colorado Waltz

Where the mountains touch the sky and the lazy clouds roll by

As we dance to the Colorado Waltz

then you'll never want to roam from your Colorado home

Or the memories of the Colorado Waltz

From the Rocky Mountains high to the eastern plains so wide

With rivers sweet and clear and flow with gold.

Hear the Continental heights and the Sand dunes desert nights

Sing the Colorado Waltz to young and old

Why go dance to the waltz of Kentucky

You have the sweet waltz of Tennessee

When it’s time to sing the praise of the mountains and the plains

For me it’s the Colorado Waltz

Gonna get interesting

R was made 2nd councelor in the Hidden Lake Ward Bishopric. The new Bishop is 6'6", the 1st councelor is 6'5 and R is 6'3" he's the short one. That ain't right. But the rest ALL is. Good group and lots of changes to come. We've known since Wednesday, but couldn't say a word to anyone, that's not easy. I'll be doing the single gig again, but this time I don't have 5 little kids like I did years ago. Maybe I'll get more practice time on the HD. Still can't find a job I want, and that really is the crux. Several jobs I could apply for, they are just not jobs I want. Weird hours, OTHER side of town, and are you kidding? you want to pay WHAT? At least unemployement benefits still have some time to go. Going to the temple Friday and have a yard sale Saturday. Went to the cannery today and we did over 8000 cans of tomato soup bout half of what they wanted to do, but that was only the morning shift. Gotta get R's nose fixed, his snoring is not letting me sleep and I'm exhausted. I'm drugging up tonight.

More Merrill??

On the back the large one says "Could be 2nd wife of Grand mother Merrill

The smaller has written Mariner W Merrill

Any guesses??

Marineer Merrill

The piece of paper was found behind the photo in the big red velvet book. My father said that the album was Marineer and his wives. No real idea. ANYONE. The book goes to DUP this Friday, they have a great museum and ways of letting people find other people. Here's hoping.

Tribute to Elders W. S Berry and J.H. Gibbs

No idea show these guys were, are and why their in a big red velvet photo album that came from my grandfathers home. Any ideas?

Litchfield the man of many faces

In that big red velvet photo album marked "Souvinir" is a photo with the words.
Litchfield, the man of many faces. Gotta wonder. Was he a traveling entertainer that left his photo card, like stars today leave autographs? No Idea, if you do, let me kno
