Origins of the Tune Camping With Roosters
The Wellington Regional Folk Festival happens every year in a beautiful spot. We are usually very happy campers. However last year (October 2001) some of us had got to bed after a great session rather early in the morning. I was trying desperately to stay asleep as the dawn chorus started up. The gentle tweets of blackbirds, the clear fluting tones of the bell birds and then right outside my tent."Cock-a-doodle-do". Oh Sleep, blessed sleep no more. Hence the tune. It should be played lightly swung...
