It's a miracle I proofread and caught it before publishing....<br /> <br />But I WAS there. Just very young and the hippie thing didn't interest me. I was all about the white vinyl gogo boots my Grandma bought for me. I thought I was the coolest six year old of 1971!<br /><br />As for the "tone" of the affair...there was exactly ONE black girl, ONE Asian girl and ONE redhead. That's all the color I got for you.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141877537334176841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25057281.post-10020357552538010372010-06-23T21:09:15.154+02:002010-06-23T21:09:15.154+02:00TRUE Joanie fans know that, while that song is alm...TRUE Joanie fans know that, while that song is almost unknown in the US, it has been one of her biggest hits in Europe for many years, and that she closes every European concert with it as a singalong. Ah, but you are so young. Our hippie years. I was there... (Now we share our "hippy" years...)<br /><br />Proudly, I can also sing the entire Barenaked Ladies songbook as well as everything by Hoyt Axton.<br /><br />As to your lovely girls and their budding stardom, I must shockingly quote "Mary Poppins Returns" by saying "My, dems some mighty white children!"Momma Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503538950732048064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25057281.post-20680298692410598022010-06-22T23:22:19.272+02:002010-06-22T23:22:19.272+02:00I found myself singing 'if I had a million dol...I found myself singing 'if I had a million dollars' at class today while teaching conditionals...it's a great song!orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25057281.post-36126322745072891102010-06-22T17:47:58.799+02:002010-06-22T17:47:58.799+02:00"Artistic" song choices for dance recita..."Artistic" song choices for dance recitals always amuse me. From the ones you've pointed out, to preschoolers dancing to the Chipmunks version of "All the Single Ladies". I just shake my head, usually, and remember my own reluctant jazz ensemble performance to Michael Jackson's "Black or White". *shudder*Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695354700835113117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25057281.post-80420331305603635762010-06-22T12:19:54.642+02:002010-06-22T12:19:54.642+02:00Sounds like lots of fun and great to have your kid...Sounds like lots of fun and great to have your kids pictures in the paper.
