“Class, who can identify the verb in this sentence – I need a fuckin’ drink now,”

Elementary Grammer with Music: “The Parts of Speech”       “Sing and Learn with Rebecca Warden”   (Nice last name for a teacher.)

“Campus Capers” In “Cool Fidelity”. I have a second volume of the same name. I love these cool beatnik era illustrations.

“Adventures in Music” RCA Victor. A box of three classical music 45’s produced to introduce second graders to the wonders of music. Every school used to have these boxey record players in classrooms and the library too. And just look at the fun that they’re having. Circa 1960.

“Let’s Subtract” Sometimes less is more – simpler is better. All this talk about adding, multiplying and dividing in the world.

The kids always seemed to respond with smiles hearing that there was no pressure to put two and two together anymore. (Listen and learn here at Way Out Junk)
