I hated music class as a kid. But I did enjoy Oh Susannah and the other Stephen foster Stuff. Loved dumb stuff like The King of the Cannibal Island, too- talk about not PC! Now I teach Sail Away Ladies, Cumberland Gap- but am also expected to teach "multicultural music"- which means a smattering of whatever cultures I can figure out to sing. This year we're concentrating on Turkey, which is more melodic to my Western ears than I had expected!
