PACHUCO HANDS

I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me.

I have a very clear memory of learning to play this on a recorder in music class in the 4th grade. Some kids sang. Some kids strummed tiny guitars. I remember being frustrated at how many times we had to play it, and how horrible it always sounded. It was less than an hour of my life nearly 30 years ago, but I harbor no resentment to the kid who made a choice for the rest of us.
