I have a student named Berry.
In late Octoberish he asked me if I could play guitar while he sings "Country Roads" for the talent show on New Years Eve. I agreed.
We practiced at lunch for a few weeks, thinking we were the Chinese version of Simon and Garfunkle. Well, when it came time for our audition, reality reared up and introduced itself. The domineering woman in charge told us we needed to was add two more songs and a few more fellas.
So a few lunches later we had a ragamuffin group: Sarah - singing Eidleweiss for the appetizer, then Berry, Obama, Leonardo, and James offer the audience a humorous main course of Country Roads and Rhythm of the Rain. We added motions the day before and hoped for the best.
Well, the audience loved it ... but Johnny Denver probably dry-heaved in his grave.
