We’ll Build a Land
(written by Carolyn McDade) Bass: Andrew Pressman; Mandolin: Bill McClellan; Fiddle: Matt Hundley; Harmony Vocals: Tenor – John Boelling, Alto – Cynthia Boelling
This song comes from the Unitarian-Universalist hymnal. My friend RCA, another friend Teresa and I discarded the 3rd and 4th verses and wrote a new 3rd verse. We also altered the chorus slightly. It was a great hymn, and much beloved, but we felt it was so close to being a folksong that it deserved a chance, and that the more people we get to hear and maybe sing this chorus, the better off the world will be. Please forgive us, Carolyn, we are only trying to do what’s best for the world.
