This slice is such a fun glimpse into your life through music. The dark secret music from my past is The Statler Bros. (my very first concert as a child).

I never knew the name or artist of "Battle of New Orleans", but it's a big memory of mine, even though I'm probably more in your kids' generation. I can just hear my mom and dad singing "We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'..." in the car along to a tape we had when I was little! Puff the Magic Dragon is another good one -- I used to act out that song with my mom's piano bench as the "cave" when my parents put that record (or maybe tape?) on. What a fun post! :-)JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-327077688237052042012-03-25T11:25:32.640-05:002012-03-25T11:25:32.640-05:00This was such a great post!!!

I can pretty much sing along with any song--including "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd"!

Music was much more important earlier than now, but I do listen, mostly old blues singers or quiet classical. I do fit the mood too, Deb, & I too have impressed the students by using an IPod. This is a great post, & interesting to hear some of your music memories.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-31174073808286846982012-03-24T23:48:13.306-05:002012-03-24T23:48:13.306-05:00Excellent post!

He used to come through my dad's speakers a lot growing up, but he isn't heard much anymore except when my dad wants his memories with his little brother. It's been close to 10 years since my uncle passed and North to Alaska was one of their favorite songs. Thanks for having good ol' Johnny on your list for today, it was nice to think about my uncle. And I love how music can take us to different times and placesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633434368279171480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-81059337174813814012012-03-24T23:31:15.926-05:002012-03-24T23:31:15.926-05:00Music has been the subject of a couple of my slice...Music has been the subject of a couple of my slices thus far too, so I was drawn to this one, Deb! It's amazing how much stored-away sense memory a song can awaken. And it's neat too how a post like this can tell people you've never met so much about who you are! Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake." Loved the Magical Mystery Tour here! :)Paulhttp://birdsandtreesofthemind.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-45910525889744185292012-03-24T22:19:12.735-05:002012-03-24T22:19:12.735-05:00Deb, as a fellow audiophile, I enjoyed this post i...Deb, as a fellow audiophile, I enjoyed this post immensely. Johnny Horton even impacted here in Australia all those years ago. North to Alaska bubbles up into my conscious memory. What your recollections highlight is that as we get older our musical tastes often become more eclectic. It's a long journey from singers like Jerry Jeff Walker to Adele, but it's great that they co exist in our musical library. Keep astounding your students with your musical awareness. I love it!<br />AlanAlan j Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077195459186935005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-90535279958607078582012-03-24T22:04:07.288-05:002012-03-24T22:04:07.288-05:00Deb,

It brought back memories for me, but more importantly it gave me a different window into who you are, both musically and personally. Your diverse tastes in music don't surprise me, because I see you, albeit from a distance, as someone who is open to different genres and styles and people and creative expressions. Lovely slice, and thanks for the musical interludes!Mardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237463317290624819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015645269607993268.post-44588781066160766352012-03-24T20:02:46.910-05:002012-03-24T20:02:46.910-05:00It is so interesting how we associate music with t...It is so interesting how we associate music with the times in our lives.
