Subject: Re: [MK8] Killing music in my school

Mississippi. The GOoD news is I just got an email saying Quaver has been renewed!! I’ve been trying to convince the Dance teacher that it has dance lessons plus music and practically teaches itself. I’m so thrilled to hear this!! Side note: You’re in Longview? My dad worked there years ago. Probably several times. He had a company that put up telephone poles in several states. I was born in Gilmer! We moved 11 times when I was a baby!
