As of this time, I have not come across te song in any print collection. The passing game, however, is widely known throughout the United States and is played with a number of songs, including "A Qua Qua" and "Down by the Banks of the Hanky Panky.""Amy Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122184843941987903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013471045320036116.post-35808938858411645532012-07-22T14:56:03.518-06:002012-07-22T14:56:03.518-06:00Thanks Aileen.

My first intial thought was I had learned if from Susan Brumfield, but I also remember doing it at a session I went to at the Oregon Arts Alliance conference in Eugene in 2001, but I can't remember the clinician's name. He was the general music professor at the U of O. I know I have it in some notes but it will take some digging. .. I'll post it as soon as I find it.Amy Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122184843941987903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013471045320036116.post-1246449156358406772012-07-22T09:22:25.858-06:002012-07-22T09:22:25.858-06:00I love your blog, Amy!
