One of my favorite folk songs that I used to listen to quite a lot back in early 2000s during college. The song was written by American folk singer-songwriter Tom Paxton in the early 1960s. This is my attempt at Chad Mitchell Trio’s (another folk trio from 60s) rendition. Peace~
Nikhil wrote a poem back in September last yr which I took and turned into a song and composed it in Sitla Village in Himalayas. Here is the first recording I did yesterday. This is our tribute to the beloved Himalayas that are forever beckoning.. Please follow us on Facebook for more!
