First grade trauma

Does anyone remember the first grade Rhythm Band?

I just recall that I was forever traumatized by my experience.

All the kids with talent got to play some groovy instruments like
tambourines, drums, triangles,etc.

The losers got to play a kazoo.  I played a kazoo. No wonder I can't
play the piano anymore after taking piano lessons from Alberta Berg
for seven long years. "Curve those fingers, Johnny" is all I remember
that Alberta said.  No wonder I can't hold my fingers straight.

I don't think I am imagining this, but I think I once barfed on
Alberta's piano keyboard.  Must have been some kind of rebellion.
It sure was hard to play songs from the John Thompson songbook after
that.  Some of the keys stuck together.

When's the last time you enjoyed a kazoo song?

Does anyone remember who were the ones who got to play the fun
instruments?

I remember a personal trauma, sometime in elementary prior to 1952 at Dalton.? The teacher caught me making faces in class to someone.? She not only made me stand in the hallway between classes and afterwards making faces, but called my dad and told him he needed come to the school and see his son.? Too long ago to remember what punishment I had to endure from dad.

Weaselmeister,

?

Maybe you can help me, seeing I know about as much of computers as I do with car mechanics.? When I am sending these emails to you, or another party, are they being copied by all on our net?? I hoped they were.
