    INT 420 Deona Sherrill Paper #1 There are literally thousands of web sites out there that claim to be news sources and many of these web sites are conspiracy sites and/or groups who think they can publish rumors as facts.

At the end of the video, Bobby McFerrin said that no matter where he goes every person is able to do the pentatonic scale.

As this song is very fast and upbeat we spent a fair bit of time trying to get the right speed and the right lyrics before we began to add in harmonies.
