Of all the songs I've written about on this blog, the one that received far and away the most comments was "Wha Saw the 42nd," Song #20 (to read them, click on the song's title in the list at the right side of this page). And the comments have come regularly every few months for 5-6 years.
Last week I recorded the girls at Camp Ajawah in Minnesota singing "Wha Saw." They use it as a round in the Mess Hall following meals. I missed the first second or two, and once you have nine tables of eight singing along, it's hard to make out the words and melody. The occassional loud bang you hear is girls keeping beat by banging their fists on the table at the start of a measure.
