Maybe I shouldn't comment either, because I went to a "three room school" and it was Canadian, but there was music. Every Friday afternoon, if I'm not getting the days mixed up, there was a broadcast over the PA, of a Canadian music programme for children, where we had little boooklets, I think possibly put out by Edith Fowke and had to sing. A line or two that I remember:
Ahoy, Ahoy the balls whistle free
We stand by our guns all day.
Sure got a not of sniggers from us little numbnuts. Anybody recognize this song?
Gee, I also just remembered, that's where I made my "Solo Debut" on piano with Alleghaney Moon and boy I sure liked dancing to Oh Johnny Oh. Thanks for jogging the memory banks!
