The Singalong grew out of a desire to honor the work of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, and many others. These songs grew out of the common experiences of the people: working on the Erie Canal, being an immigrant in a new land, the struggle for justice, love won and love lost. Many set the stage for the growth of other types of American music.

The Singalong is woven into every Father Ron and Friends performance.
