Dip Dip and Sing
Wed Aug 12 - Sat Aug 15
French River Provincial Park, ON
Last summer I was the song leader on a lovely singing and canoeing trip on the east section of the French River. It was so much fun, we're going to do it again! This time we will have room for twelve people in two voyageur canoes. Canoeing experience is not required. All meals from Wednesday lunch to Saturday brunch, group gear, tents, and paddling equipment will be provided by Kim Sedore and her company, Same Boat Adventures. So sign up now for four days of singing and canoeing in the spectacular Ontario outdoors.

I'm excited that my song "Old Tin Cup" will be included in a new songbook called "Rise Again." "Rise Again" is a sequel to the wildly popular songbook "Rise Up Singing," and contains another 1200 songs to sing and enjoy. It's not out yet, but you can pre-order a copy and find out more on the website Rise Up And Sing.
