If you click on this link you will be able to listen to a recording of our Kenny Abbott singing a song he wrote called "The Grass Down Below." In his musical heyday at camp, Ken sang a beautiful version of Lennon's "Imagine" (accompanying himself on keyboards), "No Woman, No Cry," and of course was always on hand to help me with various standbys such as "The Hird Song" ("Easy Chair"), "Four Strong Winds," and occasionally a Dylan tune (such as "You Gonna Make Me Lonesome When I Go") at closing campfires. Twin brother Bill--funny thing about twins--could never keep a tune, but Ken sure could can can. Thank goodness, for he saved my spirits a number of times. The photo of Ken above was taken in '84 on the porch of the Castle. Click on the image for more.
