Singing Around The Piano

One of the favorite things we did as young teenagers was to get a group together and sing around the piano. There were usually six of us. Especially in the summer time, when we had no school homework to do, we would gather just for the fun of singing. We'd meet every week and have a grand time singing. Sometimes the neighbors down the street would begin to complain. "Stop that racket!", they'd shout. "You're making too much noise!" But we would continue and laugh and sing even louder. NO COMPUTER? NO PROBLEM!! You can still share family pictures over night! All at a fraction of the cost!!!

That song, though it was not true rag time, sold over a million copies in a few months. Irving Berlin, the composer, wrote more than 150 songs. He also wrote "White Christmas" and "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning!". Even today, thousands of baseball fans roar from the stands after they hear his "God Bless America" sung before a play-off game. SUGGESTION: You often can find old sheet music at yard sales. The Readers' Digest also has albums of the songs of the 40's, 50's and more. Great Ideas!!!
