As a Sea Chantey performer and a High School Choral Director - I have loved this link. Thanks for the great Laughs. Now you know what we deal with everyday.

So. . . .what do you think about every Kindergarten - college in America playing Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" at every graduation. It was written to honor England ruling the world and celebrating the success in India. Didn't we fight a war or two against England for our independance?(1776 and-1812 for those who forgot) Figure that one out? My Irish and Scottish and Austalian heritage is offended. Heely
