I’m pictured here with Ioan (pronounced Yo-en) Rae at age at 5 or 6 years old. In the picture I am showing him around a Shure 58 microphone between sets at an empty bowls event, giving him a chance to get his blues chops down. He’s 15 now and I can’t tote him around like that anymore! The song I am sharing is “How Was Your Day In School?” He was in preschool then, and the song’s message is aimed at kids, kids of any age. I found that there was something to learn here when the song came to me. It is soft, but certainly not dark in mood. The words (shared below) took us to what you will hear, and on that path, we were visited by both memories and lessons to keep in mind. A lyrics video is in the works. The hope is it will take you on the same path! Enjoy!
Lyrics:
How Was Your Day In School? 

1. How was your day in school
    What took you by surprise
    What fell in place
    What left its trace
    What opened up your eyes.

2. How was your day at school
    What were you pleased to find
    What lit you up
    What filled your cup
    What made you change your mind.

Chorus:
Every day’s a school day
Lessons to be learned
Corners to be turned
Bridges to be built or burned
Every day’s a new day
The chance for another start
To look inside your heart
And find your way.

3. How was your day in school
    What helped you understand
    What struck a spark
    There in the dark
    What turned out like you planned.

Chorus:
Every day’s a school day
With lessons to be learned
Corners to be turned
Bridges to be built or burned
Every day’s a new day
The chance for another start
To look inside your heart
And find your way.

4. How was your day in school                    
    What did you ask about                            
    What did you make                                      
    What was at stake                                        
    What chased away your doubt.                

5. How was your day in school
    What did you tell or show
    What did you share
    What made you care 
    What made you say, “I know !”
