Adam
Zehner (The Ballad of) by Marji Hazen
Adam Zehner arrived in Philadelphia in 1754. His hardy
pioneer spirit
has been an example to all the Zehners who are his descendants and we
Hazens too who are the descendants of his great-grand-daughter Malinda.
Air Conditioning Lament by Marji Hazen
Some
people can't live without air conditioning in warm weather. Me? I'd
rather open the windows and, on the hottest days, turn on an electric
fan. Of course, this song probably would have limited application in
Florida or Arizona.
Ana Bahebek A little comic song about an Arab maiden that has more bite nowadays than it had forty years ago.
Anhydrous Sulphide Blues based on a true incident in the annals of good old American Free Enterprise.
Atlantisby
Marji Hazen
Certain archeologists have suggested that the faces, the
creatures,
and other designs carved in bas relief on South American pre-Columbian
temples are actually writing. Some have even suggested the writing may
go back to an earlier civilization ... somewhere.
Bobby's Lullabye During the
first set of lean years, when I didn't have enough money to buy a baby
present for the new arrival, I'd make the mother a lullabye. (See also
Laura's Lullabye). Bobby was my sister's second son.
Boucher et Fragonard Sounds like a sprightly minuet, but this is really kind of a sad song.
Bread and Oleo
Chicken Run
Clear
the Deck by Marji Hazen
This is a true story from the end of the Vietnam War. It was
written
from a news story released by the Air and Space Museum at Dayton when
the
plane was placed as an exhibit.
The Farm
The
Flood on Killbuck Creek by Marji Hazen
There was a terrible storm in our area July 4, 1969. Twelve
inches
of rain fell in twelve hours. Among the many amazing true stories folks
tell about that time is this one of Old John who disappeared along with
his trailer home along the Killbuck Creek.
For the President's Lady
The Garden of God
Johnny
Appleseed by Marji
Hazen
John Chapman was not just a frontier legend. He was a real
person who
actually owned land in what is now Green Township in Ashland County,
Ohio.
And his mortal remains are buried on a hilltop in Fort Wayne Indiana.
For
the rest of his story, see the Ashland Genealogical Society's biography
of Johnny Appleseed ... and this song.
Joy Joy
Lambkin
Prayer by Marji Hazen
I
think I wrote this one bird-full early pink and gold morning at Camp
Friedenswald in Michigan the year I was a counselor there.
