Standing in the first floor hallway at PS 321, Frank McGarry, the school’s beloved music teacher, walked over and thanked me for putting him on my blog. He is responsible for teaching the kids about Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Mozart, and Bob Dylan.

McGarry, a school treasure, also teaches them:  "Here Comes the Sun" and the Bob Marley song, "Three Little Birds" "Don’t worry about a thing, cuz every little thing is gonna be alright."

"People kept telling me about it," he said. "It was an interesting list. I learned a lot about what people are doing around here," he said.

Well, he deserved to be there. And I told him so.
