I didn't know this song and had to google it. :) Poor you - with a lovely mug that you won't use! I don't suppose it has a battery you can remove? Thanks for the smiles.

No; somehow, it's built into that cup! (I guess so it can survive the dishwasher.
Comment from Jerome Goldberg
Nostalgic and relatable. Engaging and well written. No - you are not a traitor to your culture. You are an artist ... and artists, to preserve their identity, can be lonely.

Comment from Sheridan1
This is lovely story about digging yourself a deep musical hole and having to climb out of it.
I can find nothing that I would change.
You waste no words. You stay on track. You build up to the highlight and tie it up humourously. Well done.

Comment from Brenda Henderson
Hilariously Funny! This is indeed a charming and endearing narrative. Your readers will definitely appreciate the lessons learned by the teacher! Once again Rachelle you took me back. My sister was mad about a song called "Moments In Love." She played that song until all I wanted was to run screaming from the house! There were no lyrics only abstract sounds in a monotonous rhythmic pattern. To this day whenever I hear it I turn off the radio or leave the room. If I could I would probably ban it from the airwaves! Lol Very Well Written! Very Well Done!

Now I am dying to go on youtube and find that annoying song - I have never heard it (so WHAT if I'm not Jewish). Cute story... "Spectacular" was a good replacement for what you would have preferred to say as you smashed the mug against the far wall.
tiny omission:
four weeks later, I had go(t) to that Safe Place

Priceless! I suffered years of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star when our two children were learning the violin, so have some idea what you mean. I also have one or two gifts from students that have found good homes in the furthest recesses of drawers and cupboards!
