singalong song

When I left for the Marshalls after joining Peace Corps, nearly half my weight allotment was CDs, a portable Discman, and some shitty little battery-powered speakers. While we were on the capital island, where there was electricity, I roomed with a hippie Dead-head -- a great guy named Matt, who was teaching himself guitar. Our room was very musical, and quite popular. When we shipped out to Arno, where electricity in the local village was four hours of diesel power for refrigeration at the village shop, the CDs stayed on Majuro, and I contented myself with singing. These are some of the songs to which I knew enough words to sing while walking along the beach, with my little host brothers and sister tagging along behind me.
