I like kids
There are going to be brats and some that are behaved. Two sides to every coin but that's the case with everything I've encountered.

3. I remember hot cross buns from having to play the recorder
Song always made me hungry. Key I guess to understanding people is realizing the balance of it all.

8. Girl you really got me now
Yeah that's right you teach guitar. Must be a cool job, two of my best friends play it and are very good meanwhile I never learned how to play a recorder even because I was constantly losing it.

13. No. No there isn't

But I'm teaching this trust fundamentalist kid Led Zeppelin tunes he's interested in. Not sure his parents will approve. O8)

14. Ah that's gotta be fun
Which ones is he liking? "Immigrant Song"? "Whole Lotta Love" or the great but perhaps overplayed "Stairway to Heaven."

15. Well he's pretty young, so the "guitar store classics"
I'm trying to get him into "Rain Song" or something more "interesting" (:P) from Zeppelin, but it's all riffs and solos that he cares about right now.

16. Cool nice that he has an interest
If I could do it all over again I'd learn an instrument and a foreign language.

20. Now I'll turn him on to Can, and from there Manchester punk
And then his parents will disown him and he'll die in a gutter. :D And it's not too late for you, man--I have two students who are twenty-one at the moment.

7. I don't know
The way some act it's like they never been in the same position. I remember being a kid well and my sesame street playhouse which wsa the tighest thing to me at that point. In a way I wish I could have some of my childhood back.

12. Of course there's exceptions to every rule
I wouldn't want to be next to my kid brother on a flight like that.
