Get it now, 208 in concert. (save to file, I don’t think it will stream.)

This was a live piece performed by the 6th grade (I think) class at Manitoba grade school in Milwaukee. The music teacher tried to bring pop culture into the classroom. So as well as singing old standards like “This Land is Your Land” (sans the anti-corporate verses I later discovered), we sang “Africa” by Toto. This piece I believe was written by our teacher and had some roots in improvisational electronic music and may resemble superficially the work of Herbie Hancock at the time.

This recording is staticy. It sounds the same on my PC as on the original tape. This may be due to hardware, but I don’t have any other hardware to try. I believe my 6th grade class was “taper friendly” and would allow the free trading of this material. I may be wrong.
