 May with Green Apple: The 5 Milers (by Connie & Roger Kanitz)

 The 5 Milers stepped out with a show that was high-powered from beginning to end. They played the best known and loved folk songs of earlier days and some fun pop songs from the 60‟s. It almost felt like it was a night from the best of the Ed Sullivan Show.

Peter, Paul and Mary ballads like Blowin‟ in the Wind, If I Had a Hammer, Leav-ing on a Jet Plane. Timeless songs like This Land Is YourLand, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley, and Do Lord oh Do Lord oh Do Remember Me. New Christy Minstrel Song of Today While the Blossoms Still Cling to the Vine. The Seekers: I‟ll Never Find Another You, Kingston Trio: Green Back Dollar. Other classics: Heartaches By the Number, When the Saints Go Marching In, and Bye Bye Love.

 There also were pickings for anyone longing for pop songs from the 60‟s. The We 5‟s: You Were on My Mind, Red Rub-ber Ball by Cyrcle, the Mamas and the Papas: California Dreamin‟, and The Beatles: When I‟m 64.

 Rob slipped in some of his silly songs such as Burn the Outhouse

Down and a little ad lib song he thought up as he drove here: If Gas Gets Any Higher, I‟ll Be Walking Back to You. The 5 Milers live in distant parts of the country including Florida, Ar-kansas, and Hawaii. Three of the members played in a band together in high school and Loren (the bass player) and Nancy on fiddle got added in along the way. They were reunited this past week and played as many gigs as they possibly could. They repor-ted having a great time per-forming for Green Apple and everyone enjoyed singing along and going back memory lane.

Thanks for sharing the reunion
