Though I understood just a few of the words, I knew it was patriotic music. There were lots of horns and rousing choruses, and those assembled sang with gusto. Some of the tunes came from the early Communist era, and most of those singing were old. Our guide told us that many retirees come here to sing every day.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
