That disappointed me because I really liked those lessons. I now use it in Europe, though. I learned it fully as an adult. I also remember a music teacher who told all of us she was a witch. She played an autoharp and taught the song "Stirring my brew." She said we'd see her flying on her broom on Halloween night. She was freaky and wouldn't get away with that now, I think. I recall looking for her in the sky.

Q: See Miss Laura's below.

Oh, my gosh! I remember the whole metric system thing, too! I was older than you, but whatever grade I was in, we worked so hard to learn the metric system - only to have it all for naught. I'm glad you can use it now!

Hmmm...could your music teacher have been Stevie Nicks?
