This song takes me home, alright. Like the other John Denver songs in the Singable Picture Book repertoire, I grew up listening this song and today love the memories it brings back.

Take Me Home, Country Roads
Words and Music by John Denver, Taffy Nivert and Bill Danoff
Words Adapted by Christopher Canyon
Illustrated by Christopher Canyon
ISBN 978-1584690726
This is a wonderfully detailed, joyful and loving book. I pulled it out in a Kindergarten class and one of the children said “Wow, those are some detailed pictures!” What a great comment, and true. Fabulous detail are found in each picture of this book, paintings made to look give the feeling of a lovingly made quilt. This book is a great work of illustration and a fitting, loving tribute to the wonderful music and big heart of John Denver.

TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS
Words and Music by John Denver, Taffy Nivert and Bill Danoff
Almost heaven West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home country roads
All my memories, they gather ’round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin’ hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin’ down the road I get a feelin’
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home country roads
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home country roads
Take me home country roads
Take me home down country roads
Take me home down country roads

**********************
The destination of the singer is somewhere in West Virginia, but clearly the singer is coming by way of Virginia travelling from East to West, going through the Blue Ridge Mountains and over the Shenandoah River, both of which reside in the western parts of the state of Virginia. You can see West Virginia, Virginia, the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River all marked on this map. I keep this map with the book and point these things out before we sing the song. A little geography, a little singing…It’s all go to know!

A delightful week of singing, celebrating Earth Day and April is Poetry Month, in the classes of Mr. Grasso (3), Ms. Campbell (K), Ms. Morgan (K), Ms. Everett (K), Ms. Mason (K), Ms. Allen (2), Ms. Howard (2), Mr. Mitchell (K), Ms. Shorter (K). I was also excited for the chance to use my new 19 note soprano chromatic glockenspiel. It’s going to take a while to learn how to use is and discover new uses, but even just a couple bell tones for “There’s a Train Out for Dreamland” and “The Big Bell and the Little Bell” were quite fun!

I read that this poem is in the form of a QUATRAIN:

But I also feel that it would be a COUPLET
A couplet is one of the shortest forms of poetry, consisting of two successive lines of verse that usually rhyme, have the same meter, and often form a complete thought.

Poems to Learn by Heart
Collected by Caroline Kennedy
Poems and Music by Various Artists
Illustrated by Jon J Muth
I just found this poem in POEMS TO LEARN BY HEART, a collection of poetry compiled by Caroline Kennedy and gorgeously illustrated with watercolor paintings by Jon J Muth. A tune came to me for this little verse. I’m sorry to remember reading somewhere that Robert Frost did not particularly like his poetry being set to music. I’m not a composer, but little tunes do come to me sometimes and I can’t help it. When something comes, I’ve a compulsion to share. At any rate, I hope Mr. Frost will forgive me and you will enjoy the little tune…

It’s nice to have a little song to sing, just waiting in your pocket or the back of your brain to keep you company or entertain a loved one. I made this notebook to have such songs at the ready for Sing Books with Emily visits, for whenever a little song seems like a great idea, or for whenever my brain feels a little fuzzy…

LITTLE SONGS, A NOTEBOOK OF SWEET LITTLE SONGS (MOSTLY SINGABLE POETRY) FOR TO SING WHEN YOUR BRAIN FEELS FUZZY
I have assembled a notebook and ring of CD sing-alongs to accompany those songs that have music (though most of the songs can/should be sung a-capella).
The idea is to have notebook of sweet little songs and singable poems to have in your pocket.
I was inspired, in particular, by the song COTTLESTON PIE, and Pooh having this little song at the ready for when his brain felt fuzzy.
I know and love and have collected a whole slew of sweet little songs that are fun to have at the ready (for when your brain feels fuzzy or to entertain yourself or friends), so decided to assemble them into once place.
Keep a lookout for occasional additions to this collection.
