We're marching.
And I just started playing a minor chord and kind of took it from there when they, that song in particular is a,
a song that I felt like I really like learned from them.
They march around, everybody got a little crazy.
So I said, stop and eat some food on the ground.
And that's what they did.
And I started to write more songs by just asking the kids what they wanted.
I got, I also got direction from my prior, my predecessor in that job who basically said, you know, don't talk to the kids about,
say it through the music.
And so that was hugely helpful.
And then I kind of took what I had written there.
It seemed to work and it grew after I recorded the music and then found myself trying to sell it and see if other people besides the kids who were in my classes actually wanted to hear it, which turned out to be the case.
That actually happened a lot through just playing it at birthday parties.
being asked by the parents of my students to come and sing at their birthday parties.
Oh, and you recorded those songs that you're doing in the class that they all come home singing.
Can you give me 10 of your cassette tapes?
I'll put them in goodie bags and give them out.
And then I would get a call from a kid from another school who was at that party.
And can you come do my kid's birthday party?
Because we're listening to this tape all the time.
