A friend was assured in school that he couldn't sing, so he doesn't (publicly), despite having a good voice and being able to hold a tune well, even originate tunes at times. It's a terible thing to do to a child.

Our school is having a throw out old books session again. Old Singing Together books are on their way out, but fortunately I passed them, and now have a new collection of old ones. Strange how the names of some of the songs rang recent bells. I've been to Harlem, etc. (only one verse, though)
