Michael Row Your Boat Ashore
Old Mother Nature's Recipes
There are three things in life: love, money and health.When I was younger I would have wholeheartedly concurred with the first, taken issue with the second and been totally oblivious to the third.
My generation, the boomers, has had a weird relationship with money. Our Depression-scarred parents were obsessed with security and comfort so naturally we were scornful of security and comfort. Middle-class life was a velvet coffin, Henry Miller's "air-conditioned nightmare."
In Woody Allen's latest movie, the main character (Owen Wilson channeling Woody Allen) wants nothing more than to walk the streets of Paris in the rain. His fiancée and her snooty parents roll their eyes. Rain, in this context, as in James Joyce's "The Dead," symbolizes exposure – the embrace of experience rather than the retreat from experience. As young romantics, my peers and I heartily concurred: no taxis, umbrellas, galoshes or slickers for us. We wanted to get wet – to sleep under the stars and wander unencumbered by property and obligations.
Or so we thought. We wanted to want to get wet but we had grown up warm and dry and clean, snug as a bug in a rug, as my dad would say. As we transitioned out of our 20s and into our 30s and 40s, comfy accommodations and good meals looked better and better. And those amenities required money. Thus did the boomers, according to The New York Times, become the most conspicuous consumers of all.
Instead of trading comfort for experience, we wound up buying comfort and experience: whitewater rafting trips featuring gourmet meals. (One company in Oregon one-upped its competitors by paying a string quartet to come on its trips. No "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore" around those campfires.)
What we're struggling with now, as we head toward our retirement years, is the desire to live more simply, for ecological, ideological and financial reasons, while still living well.
So yes, money.
And health, of course, now that we can no longer take good health for granted.
But in the days since I saw the words of the prophet written on the barroom wall, I've been wanting to add to the list of the bare necessities.

Carol Raedy: notating "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore"
This website has information about the classes I am teaching, performances and general music information. In the right column are links to blogs where you will find specifics pertaining to a particular class or group. For 2011 I am doing a year of sight singing and ear training on this blog. Each day or two I will make a post that includes a short lesson on how to read music using sight singing and ear training. The lessons build on each other, so look to Jan. 1st for the beginnning lesson. Today I found a video that I recorded over a month ago where I show how to notate "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore" in the key of C major. I am not sure why I didn't post it. It could be because it ends very abruptly. I am posting it today as it will be good practice with notating a song that you already know the melody to. Try to write it out on staff paper before you watch the video . Don't worry about the rhythms; just try to get the melody down. The first three notes outline the tonic triad (d, m, s or C, E, G) and the only skips in the melody are between those same three notes. Everything else is stepwise motion. Good luck! The next lesson will add the rhythms.
