[musictlk] Glory Federation

Tue Mar 8 12:20:06 UTC 2011

Sheri,
    Hmm! This could be fun to do outside the general session hall as people 
were going in! Maybe put together a roving street band, of sorts!As you 
said, most of these songs are to the tune of other songs, like Glory! Glory 
Federation. I know "I've Been Working at the Workshop to the tune of I've 
Been Working on the Railroad. We could also do The Library Song in honor of 
Mr. Sylke's retirement.Perhaps the latter could be done during general 
session. I'll ask Dr. Maurer if we could schedule this in if we can find a 
good band! Let's see what happens!

Fraternally yours,
Marion
