Subject: RE: What did Mudcatters learn in school
I think it was in 1961 (but not sure, I am sure I was in the 6th grade though) our nun took it upon herself to teach us third world city kids a thing or two about music. She put on some music from different countries (ones we couldn't understand) & asked us if we could tell the mood by the music, then she put on "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" & "Blowing in the Wind" & she made us learn the chorus & sing along with Bob. They transfered her to from Boston to NYC (I hope the Village, she was probably the only nun that cared about us) & it took another 3 years before I went near folk music again. Barry
