Song of the Day: Cindy
Joshua November 13th, 2008
This video contains one of the most unique instruments I have ever seen. Buffy Sainte is playing what seems to be a mouth harp of some sort. Pete Seeger sings and plays the banjo and Marie Seeger is off camera singing harmony.

Song of the Day: What Did You Learn In School Today?
Joshua November 6th, 2008
A great little anti-establishment song written by Tom Paxton and performed by the one and only Pete Seeger. I have provided the lyrics so you can sing along.
Lyrics:
What Did You Learn in School Today (Tom Paxton) What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? I learned that Washington never told a lie I learned that soldiers seldom die I learned that everybody's free That's what the teacher said to me And that's what I learned in school today That's what I learned in school What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? I learned that policemen are my friends I learned that justice never ends I learned that murderers die for their crimes Even if we make a mistake sometimes And that's what I learned in school today That's what I learned in school What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? I learned that war is not so bad I learned about the great ones we have had We fought in Germany and in France And someday I might get my chance And that's what I learned in school today That's what I learned in school What did you learn in school today, dear little boy of mine? I learned that our government must be strong It's always right and never wrong Our leaders are the finest men So we elect them again and again And that's what I learned in school today That's what I learned in school Copyright Cherry Lane Music Publishing Co., Inc.
