Bessie Jones and Pete Seeger leading Little Johnny Brown

By -
Here is the video I referenced in class of the way Little Johnny Brown is traditionally played as a game! It's fascinating to explore the ROOTS where music has sprung out!!

oh and LOL, my two announcements were:
1) Bring your songbook to class next week
and
2) Hop over to Spokane Community College this weekend for the Fall Folk Festival...multiple stages of multi-ethnic music of all kinds...a real treat all under one roof!
