One of the first guitar songs Bonnie is learning to play on the guitar is Tom Dooley.
We were looking at phrases about fright; stabbed with a knife, bound to die, and hanging from the white oak tree.
We also had to consider the topic about why a man might want to hang down his head, or in the case of Tom Dooley, had to hang down his head for he didn’t make it to another county, and so will have to pay the price.

Singing happened down in what Bonnie coined “The music café.” All of our songs are played in the key of C major or G major. These may not be the keys that are the easiest for us to sing it in, but that is all Bonnie knows how to do on the guitar so far.
When the songs were done, Alice suggested we all go up to “the cafeteria” (the kitchen).

We had some ice cream.
We also took a look at the song “Worried Man Blues.”
I asked them if they had ever seen their mother or father worried.
Michael said, “not really.”
That was funny. It just goes to show you how little children really know about their parents.
