Yesterday we heard a 1920s recording of the classic, and classically sad, Cajun song, “J’ai Passé.” We don’t avoid sad songs in All Around This World classes, though, most often, when we sing sad folk songs we still find some way to have fun. So, here, we don’t just wallow in sorrow. Instead we sing, bounce and tickle. We take the lead in this from folk musicians themselves, like Cajun musicians who sing “J’ai Passé” at Cajun dance parties while music fans dance the two-step.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
