GUEST,Dave Hollowood Folk Music Dying? (97* d) RE: Folk Music Dying? 17 Jun 03


Learn from music?
Damn Straight!

I guess it could be considered Corporate pop/folk /jazz but the schoolhouse rock songs from the 70's and 80's still reverberate in my mind. Some wonderful lyrics (A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did, that makes three in the family, its a magic number) and in some cases hauntingly beautiful melodies (Figure 8). htey've taught at least two generations history, math, english, etc. They have had presentations from the original artists where the whole of the audience stood up and sang the songs with them. Never underestimate the power of music!

And Sesame Street? I Don't know how much I owe to Jim Henson!
