• DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE is a spiritual with roots before the American Civil War and first published in 1918 in Plantation Melodies: A Collection of Modern, Popular and Old-time Negro-Songs of the Southland.
• THE OLD CHISHOLM TRAIL is a cowboy song first published in 1910 by John Lomax in his book Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads. The song dates back to the 1870s, when it was among the most popular songs sung by cowboys during that era. Based on an English lyrical song that dates back to 1640, “The Old Chisholm Trail” was modified by the cowboy idiom. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. In 2001, author Rosalyn Shanzer wrote a children’s book based on the song. It follows the adventures of some cowboys and their cattle as they travel the Old Chisholm Trail from Texas to Kansas. Chris Chisholm adapted it in 2005 with lyrics entitled THE OLD HIPPIE TRAIL.
Here are those lyrics to True Love and Apple Pie by by Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, as sang by Susan Shirley in 1971 before Bill Backer contacted Billy Davis with an idea for a jingle that took this tune and made it the famous commercial and then I’d Like To Teach the World to Sing recorded by The Hillside Singers and also The New Seekers…
Don’t promise me no diamond rings
Or castles in the sky
Just real life things like (mornin fog)
True love and apple pie
I just believe no fancy cars
And no celebrity
Just a broken old shack in the way out back
Is god enough for me.
Oh to have a sweet old home
Where ramblin roses climb
With hot cold in every room
And air condition in the summer times.
And in the winter time
We’ll be warm and cozy by the fire
The kids, the dog and I
And you can have your heart’s desire
True love … true love and apple pie.
Oh to have a sweet old home…
UPCOMING TOPICS: We encourage you to offer suggestions on Virtual Earth Skills Camp lessons and adventures you’d like us to broadcast in the coming. Our plans for the coming week include:

- We are hoping that sometime during the week of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, April 22 we can launch the online version of the Wolf Journey Earth Conservation Course revealing each field experience on daily broadcasts, but only if we get to 1,000 subscribers on YouTube which is the number they require for live streaming from phones in the field. We’ll keep broadcasting to our Wolf Camp Facebook page as a back-up, but will end broadcasts to Chris’ personal facebook page when YouTube subscriptions reach the 1,000 needed.
