yeah, unfortunately these days songs about school shootings could be a whole subject of their own. I remember when I did the school program someone asked me "What about the Kennedy assassination? Wasn't that a disaster?" Of course it was in a way, though I tend to think of it more as a crime. And obviously there's some overlap. I had to draw the line somewhere, so I tried to avoid "intentionally caused" disasters- which is why the Sept. 11 attacks aren't on the website (though I did put a song about that on the bonus CD that comes with it).

Some would argue that the sinking of the Maine was intentionally caused. That's disputed- but I couldn't resist including the song because I knew the great grandson of the woman who wrote the prlor song about it.

And speaking of intentionally caused disasters- there's a killer WWI song- "When the Lusitania Went Down." If I'd a come across the chords for that I would have made an exception!
