Thank you for helping us create the HVC Song Book! We had to find the right way to share the current HVC songs, and we struck the balance of providing a list of songs, with artist, label, and links to sites that have lyrics and more information.

How could you forget the HVC song?!
Also, Purdy King and Comes a Time.
(PS there’s a typo on MTA; it should be The Kingston Trio)
