Well that was fun and guess what? After playing at the Adams River Coffee house last week, a teacher from the Celista Elementary School asked for words and music to my song. So grade one and two students are learning my salmon song now. That’s just the best prize ever. Here’s a link to hear it: www.priscillajudd.ca/media/salmon-song.mp3 – it’s dedicated to Alexandra Morton.
