"When the Roads Come Together"

Up With People and Sing-Out South have a wonderful musical legacy which we will be celebrating March 25-26 during our 45th Reunion at the Maxwell House Hotel here in Nashville.

While many of us are particularly partial to the words and music of the songs we sang in the cast back in the late 1960s and early '70s, there is some equally wonderful music from the era of UWP after we left.

That includes 'When the Roads Come Together" with words and music by two UWP immortals, Herb Allen and Paul Colwell. Here's a video tribute by Up With People alumni Kevin Caruso courtesy of YouTube.....

I think the words of this song are important for us to remember as our "roads come together" again at the Reunion.

In the course operating this blog I have had a number of folks remark to me that they continued to sing some of the songs of Sing-Out South and Up With People to their children while they were growing up.

Others have contacted me saying there is a tune going through their heads that they know is something we sang in the cast, but they can't remember the name or the rest of the song.

So to help prepare everyone I think I will begin posting some of our common Sing-Out/UWP songs of the past to remind us all of the legacy of rich music with meaningful lyrics that we performed back in the day.

If there's something you want to hear just let me know.
