Thread Name: Why we sing.
Subject: RE: Why we sing.
Took my guitar to my son's preschool yesterday and sang a song I learned from a Pete Seeger birds and beasts CD. I was surprised by some spontaneous hugs from a couple of kids. One kid (I think he has downs syndrome or something) that I have never seen focus on anything came over and strummed on the strings! I was amazed and delighted. He had a very intent look in his eyes. It's wonderful to see a child like that make a connection with something. I think I'll always be singing for the children. Margo
