Chickadee 03:06
I'm leaning here up against this tree Drinking in all I hear and all I see Listening to the wind blowing through the pines While this bird sings a simple song for me *Chickadee, it's an easy little rhyme Chickadee, and no one's keeping time Thanks, chickadee for your company Chickadee, sing to me, chickadee I remember the first time I heard The whistling in the woods of a black-capped bird No other sound was so clear and high And we call it by this simple word * It's quiet here miles from nowhere In the land of the deer, the fox and bear But the chickadee's the only soul I see or hear And it's singing like it hasn't got a care * When I need to think a while I go For a walk in the woods in sun or snow And when I'm feeling down it always lifts me up To hear the simple song that bird knows * © 1983 Dan Berggren / Berggren Music (BMI)

about

This live solo album, the fourth from Sleeping Giant Records, was released in 1992 on CD and cassette. The title, suggested by Carmen & Dick Gilman, answered the question: what do people say when they introduce you? "And now please welcome . . ."

After that it's up to you. You take all the songs you've written and learned in private, the ones you've taken on the road, then you stand on a stage, share them with an audience and ask them to take ownership of the songs by listening - or better yet, by singing along.
