Do You Know the Jossy Dance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judy, in Edmonton, knew a guy Jos
And boy, were we lucky with glee!
\u2018Cause something was missing in Music for kids:
The magic “Orff Kids Jamboree\u201d!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You flew o\u2019er the ocean to make us all dance
And play a bordun on the bass
We passed it all down to our dear little wards
And my joy was the joy on their face!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it didn\u2019t stop there: spending weeks in you class
Fostered lifetimes of friendships, you know
And we were so lucky to get to know you –
Your talents b\u2019yond Music did show!
Spoonerisms caused giggles: We ate belly jeans!
Your kitchen skills: sooo unsurpassed!
But your songs about drinking Cinzano, I fear
Did not reach the ears in my class!!! (LOL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your fab Orffestrations – with words slightly changed –
Were loved dearly in school and on stage
I loved all your classes and still have my notes!
Many times have I drawn on your sage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generations have passed since those glorious days
Many thousands of children you\u2019ve reached
have remembered the dance and the planning with team
And creating their Life Musics each<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And today is so special; I honour you true
As you finish your 90th year
I wish you a birthday with joy and with love
To reflect your life\u2019s work with good cheer!
Love,
