I like the songs Sonny Ochs plays on her show. Last week, some good ones she played were:

    "All Mixed Up," performed by Pete Seeger, from the album Live in '65. There's a version available on youtube. I've heard the Peter, Paul and Mary version before, but somehow, in this version, the lyrics popped out at me, in particular, the part that goes
    No race of man is completely pure,
    nor is anyone's mind, that's for sure
    The winds mix the dust of every land,
    and so will woman and man.
    This doesn't mean we will all be the same,
    We'll have different faces and different names
    Long live many different kinds of races
    It's difference of opinion that makes horse races
    Just remember the rule about rules, brother
    What could be right for one could be wrong for the other
    The full lyrics can be found at http://www.peteseeger.net/allmixedup.htm.

    "Time is a Tempest," performed by Cloudstreet. Cloudstreet is the Australian duo Nicole Murray and John Thompson. The lyrics can be found at http://www.cloudstreet.org/lyrics_danceup.htm#tempest. It's one of those uplifting songs about let's all join together and change the world.

    "Tikkun Olam, Repair the World" performed by Ellen Bukstel. This song can be heard on youtube and the lyrics can be viewed at http://www.bukstel.com/TikkunOlamlyrics.htm. Like "Time is a Tempest," it's a song about joining together to make the world a better place.

I'm not generally a John Gorka fan, but I like his song "Branching Out." The first line is, "When I grow up, I wanna be a tree." The verses go on to describe life as a tree through the seasons, and the chorus says, "I'm gonna reach for the sky."

The full lyrics are available at http://www.lyricstime.com/john-gorka-branching-out-lyrics.html.

Some songs I heard recently which I liked enough to ask the DJs who played them what they were:

It's All Right by Jim Capaldi
Traveling Soldiers by Dakota and Bob Bates with Tom Benson and Lexi - this was a recording done live at WRPI, with an 8-year-old on lead vocal

One of the highlights of the Clearwater festival was Tao Rodriguez Seeger performing "I Don't Want Your Millions Mister." I don't have a video of that performance, but here's another performance of the same song.

"All a Man Can Do" by Tom Rush starts off with a young man saying goodbye to his parents, young and fresh, embarking on his life. In the end,
It doesn’t seem so long ago, I hitched down to New Mexico
I kissed my mama, I saw my father’s stone
Friends are gone or out or touch, but nothing seems to change that
much
The desert’s hot the sky’s still blue, I’m getting by still making
due
Take your chances take your shot, cause 50/50’s all you got
Make each day the best you can, that’s a line I understand
Live each moment like your last, cause life goes by you so damn fast
Make a promise and keep it true, cause that is all a man can do
What this makes me think of is that we grow older, we all experience hardships and loss. The unwise feel sorry for themselves and feel injustices have been done to them. The wise recognize that it's part of the cycles of life, and are able to maintain their sense of wholeness and keep on going through life, keep on seeing the beauty in life.

Tonight, just before going to bed, I sat on the living room floor listening to Tao Rodriguez Seeger singing

Through all this world of joy and sorrow
We still can have singing tomorrows

and I felt content.   I thought of my life, and I thought, "What more could I ask for?"
