All the kids were concentrating on their signing. It was unforgettable. I'm thinking the music teacher may have chosen this instead of singing just as a change from the usual, plus we had some children at the school with learning challenges and I believe at least one was hearing impaired and used signing. I probably should have included that part in my post except I didn't remember it until you asked the question :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-41646490439637812312016-09-06T02:28:00.799-03:002016-09-06T02:28:00.799-03:00"For better" - yes, let's hope that...."For better" - yes, let's hope that.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-56578281952757063822016-09-05T22:17:19.870-03:002016-09-05T22:17:19.870-03:00In my minds eye, I can see you in the auditorium w...In my minds eye, I can see you in the auditorium with the sun shining through the high windows, watching 500 children, and you have a big lump in your throat. Beautiful song-it must have been amazing. Were the kids singing and signing the lyrics or just signing them? Is it because the song would have been difficult for them to sing? There were a lot of high notes!Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609788440028784698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-68398149835792095912016-09-05T21:15:49.192-03:002016-09-05T21:15:49.192-03:00Remarkable song.

I found it hard to be fluid, but that's probably a matter of practicing (like so many other skills). But it was definitely interesting and worth doing.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-10471261792394095892016-09-05T18:14:49.421-03:002016-09-05T18:14:49.421-03:00I loved Raylene's voice and the harmonies were...I loved Raylene's voice and the harmonies were beautiful in that family band.

And the lyrics remind me a little of the chorus to "Nuclear Apathy" by Crack the Sky:<br />Rise up, children, life goes on and on.<br />Wise up, children, life goes on and on.<br /> I am always fascinated when someone is giving a speech and they have someone signing it along with them. As a musician, it always looks to me to be a master performance. I'd probably appreciate it more if I knew sign language, though. Maybe I should learn some of it.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-22614404228595709302016-09-05T14:23:20.830-03:002016-09-05T14:23:20.830-03:00So true.
