McGuffey 3: Gifts

Post by Adam Richards »

Hello All+

The third episode of The McGuffey Reader: Gifts, will air this Sunday, January 4 at 4pm. Join in and listen at the link below:
http://www.wvbi.net/

You'll hear tunes, readings, and speaking on presents, talents, greed, and sacrifice - all tied into the theme of gifts.

BICS students and staff, Shel Silverstein, Johnny Cash, Julie Andrews, Bruce Springsteen, Bing Crosby, Tracy Chapman and more await your hearing.

SPECIAL! Since I am now in possession of the 4th McGuffey Reader (1866, I think), we'll have a lesson on "The Old Horse", which begins:

"No, children, he shall not be sold;
Go, lead him home, and dry your tears;
'Tis true, he's blind, and lame, and old;
But he has served us twenty years."
