Oh, My!  No More Pie!

Oh my…no more pie…
Pie’s too sweet…I wanna piece of meat…
Meat’s too red…I think I’ll take some bread…
Bread’s too brown…I think I’ll go to town…
Town’s too far…I think I’ll take the car…
Car won’t go…I kicked and hurt my toe…
Toe gives me pain…I think I’ll take the train…
Train had a wreck…I fell and hurt my neck…
Stepped in the mud…Now I’m squished like a bug(in a squeaky voice)…

Captain, go side track your train

is comin' in on time
Captain, go side track your train

We will be celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday on Monday, January 18th.  Dr. King was actually born on January 15, 1929.  We celebrate Dr. King because of the great work he did to try to make the United States a better, more tolerant place to be.  Dr. King was a CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST (someone who fights to make sure that all people are treated fairly).  He led NON-VIOLENT (a peaceful way to bring about change) protests to fight for the rights of people so we could live in a world where RACE (physical traits, like the color of your skin) or ETHNICITY (where you are from or who you are CULTURALLY [your customs and beliefs] would not make a difference in the way that you were treated.

Celebraremos el cumpleaños del Dr. Martin Luther King el lunes 18 de enero. El Dr. King nació en realidad el 15 de enero de 1929. Celebramos al Dr. King por el gran trabajo que hizo para tratar de hacer de los Estados Unidos un lugar mejor y más tolerante. El Dr. King era un ACTIVISTA DE DERECHOS CIVILES (alguien que lucha para asegurarse de que todas las personas sean tratadas de manera justa). Lideró protestas NO VIOLENTAS (una forma pacífica de lograr el cambio) para luchar por los derechos de las personas para que pudiéramos vivir en un mundo donde la RAZA (rasgos físicos, como el color de tu piel) o la ETNICIDAD (de dónde eres o quién eres CULTURALMENTE [tus costumbres y creencias] no marcarían una diferencia en la forma en que te trataron.

JUBA

Juba this and
Juba that
Juba caught a
Yellow cat

Juba! Juba!
Get over double trouble
Juba! Juba!

Juba up and
Juba down.
Juba dancing 
All around.

​Juba! Juba!
Get over double trouble
Juba! Juba!



There was a time in American history when white people thought they could "own" another person and force them to work for them.  Many of these people wore taken from their homes in Africa and forced to come to the United States.  When these African's came here they brought many of their traditions, including their history of music and drumming.  But slave owners were afraid that there were secret messages being passed back and forth in the rhythms that they played so the enslaved Africans had their drums taken away from them.  But these were a resilient people and they did not allow these "masters" to hold them back.  They came up with other ways of communication.  They learned to use their bodies as percussion instruments.  They would use their feet to stomp and tap during dance.  
One such form of this was "JUBA" (also known as "Hambone").  We will learn a simplified version of Juba.  

​Hubo un tiempo en la historia de Estados Unidos en el que los blancos pensaban que podían "poseer" a otra persona y obligarlos a trabajar para ellos. Muchas de estas personas fueron sacadas de sus hogares en África y obligadas a venir a Estados Unidos. Cuando estos africanos llegaron aquí, trajeron muchas de sus tradiciones, incluida su historia de la música y la batería. Pero los dueños de esclavos temían que se transmitieran mensajes secretos de un lado a otro en los ritmos que tocaban, por lo que a los africanos esclavizados les quitaban los tambores. Pero se trataba de un pueblo resistente y no permitieron que estos "maestros" los detuvieran. Se les ocurrieron otras formas de comunicación. Aprendieron a usar sus cuerpos como instrumentos de percusión. Utilizarían sus pies para pisar fuerte y hacer tapping durante el baile.
Una forma de esto fue "JUBA" (también conocida como "Hambone"). Aprenderemos una versión simplificada de Juba.
Juba dance pattern:

P= pat
C= clap
S= stamp
J= Jump

P, P, P, C
P, P, P, C
P, P, P, C
P, P, P, C

S, S (Shh, Shh)
​S, S (Shh, Shh)

J, J, J, J

​S, S (Shh, Shh)
​​S, S (Shh, Shh)

​Repeat with the second verse...








​Juba this and
Juba that 
Juba caught a
Yellow cat!

Juba! (Shh, Shh)
Juba  (Shh, Shh)

Get over double trouble

Juba!  (Shh, shh)
Juba!  (Shh, shh)
