It is a welcome to summer song because today, my friends, summer officially begins here in the United States. This is also the beginning of Season 5 of the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast. I\u2019ve been making this podcast for 2 years now, and I\u2019m so glad that I started it. I love my listeners so much and I have new stories coming your way in the month of July. The next one has Jemi in it! If you don\u2019t know who Jemi is, look no further than the aprileight.com website! Jemi was the friend we met in Episode 1 and she is the first character I ever made for April Eight. You can listen to all three episodes of that story right here.  But now, down to business. We\u2019ve got a song to sing. This one is an old favorite of mine, it is called Wild Mountain Thyme by Francis McPeake. It is an old Scottish song, and I like that because I\u2019ve got some Scottish in me. I love to sing this with my children and I can\u2019t wait to sing it with you. Here is how the chorus goes. Will you go Lassie go, and we\u2019ll all go together, to pull wild mountain thyme all around the purple heather, will you go Lassie go\u2026 Now, do you know what a Lassie is? THat\u2019s just another way that Scottish people say \u201cgirl\u201d. If you\u2019d rather sing it to a boy, you can say, Laddie, if you want. Whatever works for you works for me. Will you go, Lassie go? New stories are coming in July! ","author_name":"April Eight Songs & Stories","author_url":"http:\/\/www.aprileight.com","html":"
