Big Business in Kids' Music: And I'm not kidding!

Irish Music : On the Net!

However, since I left all my resource materials at school and I wanted to get my article done before the deadline, a great idea popped into my head, (desperation does that to me) and VOILA! This week's article is Irish Music on the Internet!

Let Freedom Sing!: Get Your Rights, Jack
In February, 1964, freedom workers were picketing Leb's restaurant in Atlanta. Thousands of passers-by, diners-out, and spectators crowded the four corners of the intersection. Demonstrators lined the two sides of the street. Suddenly an old man dressed in the red-piped, white satin robes of a Klan Cyclops limped through the narrow aisle of the sidewalk between restaurant and curb, leading a line of white-sheeted followers and a half dozen shirt-sleeved boys and men.

Folkin' It!
Dancing is one of those activities that keep us fun-loving and young-acting! And even if you're not a dancer (tsk, tsk), then watching dancers, to most, is fascinating. There's nothing quite like movin' to the grooves or groovin' to the moves. Music is such a marvelous subject to teach because it's all-encompassing. These sites are informative and fun and I've tried to have a wide assortment of styles, so hopefully there'll be something for everyone.
