I enjoyed hearing your rendition of Sam McGee. I remember Biff Copeland used to recite that poem around the campfire at YMCA Family camp every summer at Lake Sequoia. Great poem. Well presented!

Thanks! Fun that it was a summer camp campfire staple for you. And extra fun that his name was Biff. An old boyfriend of mine used to give that name at restaurants and coffee shops, just because he liked to hear it get called out. “Biff, party of two? Biff?” His name has nothing to do with Biff. 😉

Nicely done Sherry! I remember reading the creation of Sam McGee and it must have been in school! I was an avid reader as a new kid in grade 4 in Toronto after we had just moved from St.Catharines! We were in a four-plex and I remember reading 20,000 Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne in the hallway of the complex!!

Ah, the reading we do in the early years can set the course for our lives.

Fantabulous! I enjoyed immensely both film and narration. I confess, as a burn survivor, there were a couple of cringy lines. You two make a great team. Well done. (Omg, an accidental pun).
