Burl Ives (1909–1995)

Lots of songs that I don't have anywhere else, but the edition is so small and old that it's very hard to open it without the pages ripping and certainly impossible to hold open while you play guitar.

I did not read this book, but all day long I've been remembering a refrain for one of my favorite songs by Ives and I wanted to share:

When you walk the streets you'll have no cares
If you walk the lines and not the squares
As you go through life make this your goal
Watch the donut, not the hole

From the Donut Song – Burl Ives
