I'd wanted to hear the NPR segment, but not knowing when it would be broadcast, didn't think I would, as I didn't feel like listening to any news the entire day except for an almost pathological attachment to WFUV (which, late in the day, I was finally...after MONTHS...able to coax in again on my regular radio at work...radio is the only way to hear it there aside from my portable CD player, as the live streaming doesn't work there, and this time I put a note over the radio tuner asking that NOBODY change the tuning!). And thanks for sharing that story of using Land of the Living with your sixth graders, Sarah. Maybe it won't make them all Lucy fans, but that's not as important as the fact that that assignment is the kind of thing they will remember...I think so because of the kinds of things I remember my own good teachers doing when I was in school. I went to kind of average public schools, not great and not awful, but there are a few teachers I'll always remember because they dared to do things that were a little different and I sensed that they really cared.

I didn't know they had a recording of "Land of the Living" at the time of my entry. I agree with Steve about this song being by far the cream of the crop!!!

(That crazy rotating stage. Incidentally, I thought about that rotating stage again when I was at the zoo in Bridgeport last week where they had a carousel---I recalled how in Westbury Lucy had commented on how she enjoyed moving around as she was singing, and I had this momentary vision of the zoo concert's being held on the carousel, Lucy sitting on a horse or something and strumming her guitar with the whole thing rotating very slowly as we all waved from the sidelines...she might even have done a little visual demonstration by singing Every Single Day and grabbing the brass ring at the appropriate point, though I guess most carousels don't actually have those anymore, for safety reasons! But in fact she remained safely on the Peacock Pavilion, facing in one direction. Luckily, that direction was toward the audience!) What was the question again? Oh, yeah. That song...up and down the stairs...Tom Paxton. (Hey, at least I managed a short answer to the guitar chord question earlier...and a short answer is, for me, something of a feat.)

We stood and watched in horror As we saw the first ones fall. Then someone yelled "Get out! Get out! They're trying to kill us all." I grabbed the pictures from my desk And joined the flight for life. With every step I called the names Of my children and my wife. And then we heard them coming up From several floors below. A crowd of fire fighters, With their heavy gear in tow. CHORUS: Now every time I try to sleep I'm haunted by the sound, Of firemen pounding up the stairs While we were coming down. And when we met them on the stairs They said we were too slow. "Get out! Get out!" they yelled at us - "The whole thing's going to go" They didn't have to tell us twice - We'd seen the world on fire. We kept on running down the stairs While they kept climbing higher. CHORUS: Now every time I try to sleep I'm haunted by the sound, Of firemen pounding up the stairs While we were coming down. Thank God, we made it to the street; We ran through ash and smoke. I did not know which way to run - I thought that I would choke. A fireman took me by the arm And pointed me uptown. Then "Christ!" I heard him whisper As the tower came roaring down So, now I go to funerals For men I never knew. The pipers play Amazing Grace, As the coffins come in view. They must have seen it coming When they turned to face the fire. They sent us down to safety, Then, they kept on climbing higher CHORUS: Now every time I try to sleep I'm haunted by the sound, Of firemen pounding up the stairs While we were coming down. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 21:29:08 -0700 From: "Gina" Subject: Re: [lucy-list] Lucy on NPR First of all, I have had a hard time opening up the file with Lucy on NPR. Can you guys tell me what "player" you used to hear it? At this time, I think I only have Window's Media Player installed and it's not functioning correctly. Second, I have not been reading all of the posts lately, so forgive me if I am being redundant... There was a story on one of the morning shows about a fire fighting crew that was running up the stairs. They found a woman just at the time that they decided that it was a lost cause and were heading down. They brought her with, but she was very slow. They kept pace with her as if she was one of their own team. As it turns out, she stopped on the 4th floor and they stopped with her. It turns out that being in exactly the place that they were, because of her, is the only reason they escaped death that day. ------------------------------ End of lucy-list-digest V4 #210 ******************************* This has been a posting from the Lucy Kaplansky mail list digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe lucy-list-digest" in the body of the message
