These are the lyrics of a new song that I wrote for a Go Green Festival I’ll be performing at in November.

Go Green

Chorus

We must Go Green and work to save our planet

Think about the things we do that can affect us all

We must Go Green and try to change our actions

Save the earth, improve our lives and stand up tall.


When leaving rooms turn off the lights, conserve electric power

Turn off TVs, and pull out plugs that you’re not using now

Fix all those leaks, don’t let them drip and take a shorter shower

It’s not so hard to save this earth if you know how.

Chorus

The great outdoors is calling us; there is a good solution.

Take a walk or ride your bike, don’t always use the car.

Don’t litter, or waste paper, keep noise down, stop pollution

By planting trees and growing plants we will go far.

Chorus

Reduce the waste you make each day, Reuse what you don’t throw out

Recycle what you can so we can help the world revive

Each little thing we do each day helps build a good tomorrow

So do your best, it all adds up, help us survive.

Learning about my family history has always been an interest of mine. When I was born my grandparents were dead already, so I didn’t get the advantage that most kids have of having family stories shared from two generations past. My parents weren’t much for sharing stories of their childhood, unless you questioned them. This was not something that I tended to do when I was young.

The exception was my father sharing all of his sports exploits with us. It wasn’t until I was much older and started looking for some verification of his claims of playing soccer for a German National team that I discovered that most of his stories were less than truthful.

Most of the information I’ve gathered unfortunately came after my parents had already died. The unfortunate loss of a great source of information.
