Subject: RE: Why is Kumbaya a dirty word?
Good point, Tinker (and Azizi too, as always)

What's it's easy to forget is that to us been-there-done-that oldies, Kumbayah is over-familiar because we've all heard it sung and sung and sung. But to kids it's still a new experience, and I think it's right to introduce them to it. As has already been pointed out, however tired of it one may get, it's still a beautiful song with meaningful words (good scope for harmony singing too, an important aspect for me).
