Days Of Yore Theme Song


Since the Maryland State Song is sung to the tune of an old Christmas carol, "O Tannenbaum", I thought it would be fun to put the Days Of Yore places to the tune of another carol, "The 12 Days Of Christmas".  The content is drawn specifically from the Days Of Yore project and each "day" corresponds to a different place in Montgomery County, MD.  Enjoy!

*Note: The seventh drawing is a statue "The Madonna Of The Trail" that is one of 12 statues in the US, so it will be shifted to Number 12 in the song.  
"Twelve Pioneer Women" will be the phrase.
Also, there are actually "six yurts for artists" at Glen Echo, so that was shifted out of Number 9 to Number 6, for accuracy as possible.
