March Index

Happy Birthday!

On 3/16 in 1997:

On the 7th day of the month of Adar (II) Moses was born (circa 1250 bce) & died at age 120 on the same day of the year.

With just a very quick look, I found:
     "Go Down Moses,"
     "Little Moses," (Joan Baez, Carter Family, Neil Morris)
     "Go Tell It On The Mountain,"
     "Twelve Gates To The City
     "Moses, Don't Get Lost,"
          (as one of those great pipe & drum things by John Davis)
     "On the Rock Where Moses Stood," (also Carter Family, etc.)
     "Mary, Don't You Weep"

     (Suffit's "Moses Rose" doesn't count - different guy.)

Seems he was a popular character in American folksong....
