Must be how Motown got started. Singing children. At least Bob Seger, but that was Ann Arbor...

Let alone how we used to sing all the time. Or respond to one another with stories.

And people wonder where The Grail went. Ask the children.

“orality & literacy” by walter ong may be of interest of its not already on your radar!! i love this topic. keep singing.
