Life Imitates Doodles
Where Are All The Flowers Going
I’m still on my internet break, but Veteran’s Day is observed on Nov. 11 in the U.S. so I wanted to post this in honor of the day.
Did you know Pete Seegers’ lyrics to ‘Where Have All the Flowers Gone’ was inspired by a traditional Ukranian song ‘Koloda Duda’? Pete only wrote the lyrics to the first three verses. A few years later, a summer camp counsellor, Joe Hickerson, added two more verses turning the song into the round we know today. When Seeger heard the new version, he gave Hickenson 20% of royalties.
