I continue to play & sing & teach & listen to the Music I love & respect, which is Traditional Music as well as composed Music. Little of this was composed in the past 50-60 years, simply because that happens to be my taste in Music. When I was a child, I loved learning & singing Traditional songs with my Grannys & Grandads-quite a variety from 2 sets of grandparents who were very different. A common fun family activity when I was a kid was gathering around the piano & singing, whether just my family at home, or at a large family gathering. I sing lots of Traditional songs to/with my 2 year old great niece & we both enjoy this. I also sing composed songs with her. She loves singing & acting "Way Down Yonder in the Paw Paw Patch" just as much as singing the latest Sesame Street songs which we sing every morning as we watch Sesame Street.
