Harkening back to earlier times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Songs from childhood tend to leave an indelible mark. Lately I\u2019ve had an earworm that just won\u2019t quit. Did you know that the 1950\u2019s children\u2019s song, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes<\/em> is actually derived from an old college drinking song from the 1800s? And that song is derived from old Scottish\/English ballads that date back much further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
