Our small town, didn't have a music teacher for elementary students. Instead, about once a week, starting in fifth grade, our teacher would tell us all to pull out our song books. And that, yes that, was the highlight of the entire week.
We sang our little hearts out throughout (not only when it was time to sing Goober Peas). And then there were several other songs that were sung only on field trips. I have no idea why, but that's when we sang: Katalina Matalina, The Princess Pat, I Met a Bear and a few others. And sweet Eddie B, was usually the leader. Nicely done, EB. Love, K
