You're famous! Almost..
Someone emailed me your version of the 12 Days, I subsequently posted it to my blog and only just recently was told you are the author. I'm sure it's making the rounds throughout cyberspace. I'll add a note to my blog to credit your creativity.
Peace,
Tim
My daughter's 5th grade class did this song for Veteran's Day in 2005 for the Veteran's Day Program in the auditorium and the crowd loved it! It was right after the kids were able to go back to school after the storm.
