A nice prank in school today in guitar class

Our one son told me that the guitar class. Is to perform Greensleeves what child is this today at a school assembly. Instead they will start with stairway to heaven as a prank and then dive into free bird before they start as their guitar teacher is no stairway or free bird in class.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the one grandson is here runny nose a bit under the weather. Although being under the weather does not stop him from doing a toy box inventory this morning. I did not realize that we were doing a inventory this morning I need to get with the program.

We tried something like that in high school choir. At the end of our holiday concert, all of the performing groups would combine to perform Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus." When the music got near the end when it's really rocking, a group of us thought it would be fun to start clapping on the backbeats, giving the music an almost Gospel/Rock style. The music director was horrified and pissed and several of us were disciplined because of it.

Nearly 40 years later, our infamous stunt is still recalled by some! In the long run, it was worth it but at the time, some of us were chagrined.

Oh, well. We survived. So did Handel's magnificent music.
