I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Tom Chapin's Happy Birthday Song (Bonus)
By Tom Chapin. I know it from Eric Nagler.
Check out Quinn the Eskimo doing the original cool Happy Birthday on the mountain dulcimer.
And here's something written by Eric Nagler. I love him.
Happy birthday, happy birthday, we love you
Happy birthday and may all your dreams come true
When you blow out the candles, one light stays aglow
It's the love light in your eyes where'er you go

This is awesome. I use RUS every night with my kids, singing before bed. I know at least 100 songs from it, and would be happy to record them to help with the RUS Project. Do you still need help?
