Ok so as many of you are aware in in the outdoor adventure and outdoor education business...
I work for a company called Land for Learning http://www.landforlearning.org
and we are currently hosting about 100 7th graders who are spending Wed Thurs and Friday OUT OF THE 4 WALL CLASSROOM in into our forests...which is absolutely magical to be a part of as you can imagine. We do team building, canoeing, owl prowl hikes at night, aquatic critter searches among other things...to make this long story short
of course we end our evenings around a fire in a beautiful little benched stadium seating amphitheater...so we tell stories...sing songs..and a few musical performances...My boss and coworker asked me "so you want to do i song, i know you sing great" and i saiddddddddd sureeeeeeee so i Started off with Abiyoyo by pete seegar...check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHR9uJLS3XA
and i had the whole mess of them singing along and having a great time then for the final song i did a few verses of my version of Rainbow connection from the muppet movie...all quiet and layed back, and for the first time i wasn't nervous...it just came out....perfectly...I'm nothing but smiles right now...
The end of the tale....all the kids were amazed with the little guitar i played and wanted to know as much about it as possible...new UU members on the way? I hope so
