Show of hands!

Who else had to sing "Land of the Silver Birch/My Paddle's Keen and Bright" year after year?

We had a set of songs that we did every week in "music time" with the librarian. It was basically a singalong, and this was my music education until Grade 5. A few folky things, some anti-war 60s stuff, anything by the Beatles, Muppets, or Gordon Lightfoot... yeah. It was odd.

ETA: I meant to mention that we didn't have word sheets or anything, so I now know all of these songs with those weird ellided kid-lyrics one comes up with. That, too, is odd.

Heh - that sounds exactly like my elementary school music education. Folk song singalong, complete with guitar! And then sometimes we got percussion instruments to play.

There's a verse of Sound(s?) of Silence that still surprises me every time it goes by.
