Whoa! Those are the same ones we did! Maybe there was a standard book for
schools at the time. We also did Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward
Bound, Nash's Teach Your Children and McCartney's Michelle.

Awwww, I love that song! ;-)
And as much as I kind of smirked about the Back Street Boys, it was sweet to
hear that they are performing their songs in school these days, Rose.
I'm still convinced my high school choir director had one of the toughest

California these days) who no longer have the kind of music and art programs
we did.
