[Oe List ...] THANKS to ALL that FOREWARDED

[William Alerding]

Thanks,, Sunny. What a powerful video. Music is probably the best  
vehicle for connection at a deep level. Wouldn't it be marvelous if  
schools would intentionally put singing in every classroom for every  
subject. It would expand the memory and there would be no need for  
left brain tests.  Thank you.
