Thread Name: Where are the kids?
Subject: RE: Where are the kids?
Right on Kelida & KC! I was at the North Carolina RenFaire a few weeks ago, sitting in the audience while a traditional band played. I was the only one who was singing "Whisky Johnny" along with them...and all the rest of the folks were adults! In my Figure Drawing Class last semester, which includes 3 straight hours of drawing models, our teacher would bring in music so we wouldn't be totally bored...sorry to say I that Etta James DID get rather tiresome after the 3rd time around, so I brought in my Green Linnet Celtic albums and let my teacher play them. I thought that being the modern hardcore-music loving people college students are, that they would find it boring...but I actually got a good response--even from the model! You shoulda seen this one guy improvising along with "Alistair Mhic Cholla Ghasda" by Capercaillie! it was great!
