In a humorous way, I encourage students who speak in slang (Appalachian speak in this case) to learn standard English, and hope teachers understand how hard it is when you've grown up speaking another dialect. |

This is my Elvis impersonation, though I try to give a Cajun feel on the fiddle. The song is a good Country R & B rocker about a guy who's been chasing a girl, she's been leading him on, but now it's time to see if she's just playing with him or not. |

Old-time gospel style, 4 part harmony. When my friend, Florence Kingsolver, died, I woke up the next morning with this song. All I had to do was grab my notepad, the music was in my head, it was all there. It was her gift to me, and it is my gift to you. |
