That made me remember that in Jr. High Chorus we sang "If I Had a Hammer." It must've been sung at most every school in the country!<br /><br />@Blonde Goddess, We must be close in age, because I remember listening to that song too.<br /><br />@kenju, thanks for adding your comment, always appreciated.<br /><br />@Mary Ellen, I had a feeling you loved the music of Peter, Paul, and Mary. Thanks for reminding us of the good ole days. Hey, I think they called some of them "folk songs." I wonder what, if anything would be considered a folk song today?<br /><br />Glad you liked seeing the Sister Act video again! That is "linked within" and automatic. I bet it matched "Mary." I never get tired of watching that video!<br /><br />@Kyle, You summed it up wonderfully. That's what I like about comments! Thanks, your comments never go unnoticed and I really appreciate it!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514919047169081546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944458889740456039.post-81059002686444937812009-09-17T18:56:42.951-05:002009-09-17T18:56:42.951-05:00I'm definitely very sad about her death.

I miss that era of music...simple and to the point without all the swearing and threats of violence. <br /><br />Oh..and thanks for the YouTube from Sister Act! You put a great big grin on my face this morning, much appreciated! <br /><br />Hope you're feeling better...Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944458889740456039.post-68287709643682939002009-09-17T09:45:14.701-05:002009-09-17T09:45:14.701-05:00I loved their music and she will indeed be missed....I loved their music and she will indeed be missed.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944458889740456039.post-40282310587109328162009-09-17T08:00:17.876-05:002009-09-17T08:00:17.876-05:00She did have an incredible voice.

We knew all of the songs on that album by heart -- not that we tried to learn the words -- that music was everywhere, like a soundtrack for the lives we were living.Bruce Coltinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861316663245952372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944458889740456039.post-59338749548385648562009-09-16T23:56:10.790-05:002009-09-16T23:56:10.790-05:00So sad.
