I was born in 1966 so I was lucky enough to enjoy all the benefits of
Schoolhouse Rock. My favorites though were always the songs of Multiplication
Rock. I remember watching all of those favorite Sid & Marty Kroft cartoons
and just hoping that we'd get to see one of the skits. I saved my allowance
money for weeks in order to buy the album, yes I said album. . . that big,
black, round, vinyl things that you use a turntable and needle with!!! At 8 or 9
years old my record collection was very limited and adding to it was a rareity.
Believe it or not, I still have that exact same record album, still in
its original sleeve! It may have seen some better days but it brings a smile to
my face anytime I hear one of those songs. In fact, it not only helped me learn
my multiplication tables early on, I made a tape of the album and used to play
it in the car for my daughter. At the time she didn't know that the songs she
was enjoying were actually teaching her multiplication tables to her. Now at 10
years old she realizes her mother's devious methods and appreciates them. . . I
myself appreciate having had the fortunate opportunity to be exposed to Grammar
Rock in my elementary years. It always made learning fun and I am sure it will
for many more years and generations to come!!!!
