Colorado River Songs – (CD)
– Katydid Books & Music – 1998
The old, the very old, and the new river tunes, many of them from the old Folkways Recording, plus a few more. All nineteen of them were written by river rats and songwriters. My “Wreck-the-Nation Bureau” is on this CD. I treasure Ed Abbey’s quote from one of his postcards to me: “Anyone who loved the living Colorado River (pre-damnation by the swine who run America) will love these songs by pioneer Glen Canyoneer, Katie Lee).
