I've heard that song so many times but never did it cross my mind to look up who composed it. I always just assumed it was someone well known. <br /><br />The situation with the education system in the US is quite disheartening. I have friends leaving Japan and moving back to the states because they feel that the education system there is better than it is here. Not sure how things will fare for them now. <br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful lesson on Sir Edward Elgar!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213360287207409416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5464278377527384610.post-77150410870453138922011-05-21T02:46:53.871-07:002011-05-21T02:46:53.871-07:00I learned a lot about Sir Edward Elgar from you.

Heck, it was tough back in the mid 70s when I graduated. It's really mean (to be polite) of what certain people are doing to our society in the name of their profits.... As for Sir Edward Elgar, he seems like a rather interesting fellow.Su-sieee!
