Singalongs and lessons

12/17/2015

I played guitar and led sing-alongs during study break at 9:30 pm in the all- female dorm. Donned in large round hair curlers and fuzzy bathrobes, usually smoking cigarettes and drinking Pepsi, we sat on the hallway stairs and sang our lungs out. "If I had a hammer..." " Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea..."
As an English major with papers due in classes on a regular basis, I gave guitar lessons to friends in exchange for their typing my papers.

Ha, ha, ha! I had a VERY talented suitemate at William and Mary whose name was Robin Russell who sang and played like an angel. And yes, Peter, Paul, and Mary songs were our very favorites. And I still have an image of me and my fellow students all tricked out in hair rollers the size of soup cans! One song that sticks in my mind which was a hit in 1968 and played by my roommate every day was "Angel of the Morning," sung by Marilee Rush (I just looked it up on Wikipedia!)
