So I went to my first class for Voice this semster. It was fun meeting all the new students and talking to the teacher and pianist again. They are great. I just felt werid and old as I kept suggesting songs to one of my partners who has been singing since he was 8 years old in choirs and is part of a babrershop group. He didn;t know Scarbourgh Faire, Summertime or Skylark. I asked if he known any Simon and Garfunkel and he just looked at me. Wow! I thought they were pretty well known. He kept suggesting thing I didn't, but I know many standard/popular music that most choirs would do. I guess iwas just feeling out of place. The guy is probably 20, but he's a singer. Oh well I have a job to do. And that's not all. I told a girl she reminded me of Dorothy Parker in her looks and expressions and she said,"WHO?" Help me!!!! She knew who Pablo Neruda was, but not Dottie! I should have asked her if she knew Colette? So she asked me to bring in a book by her. I will. I must share Dorothy with any one and keep her around to all. Hee hee. I know I am really tired and I still havce a classroom to set up and parents to call for home visits! Go me! Well good night all.

How can you not know Simon and Garfunkel? That's kind of fucked up.

Hello? The Graduate?

How can one have sang for that many years and not know Scarborough Fair, Summertime, or Skylark?? Silly kids today, they don't know what they're missing. But I would think someone who sings would know those, no matter what age they are. It's sort of... part of the job, you know? Hearing as many songs as you can, becoming familiar with different kinds and different artists..

And people who don't know Dorothy Parker make me sad. Same goes for Simon and Garfunkel.
