This video was cablecast in 1988 on the Fairfax County Public Schools television channel Red Apple 21. It was produced by staff in the FCPS Office of Teleproductions.
25 kids banging away on those cheap, non-tunable Ovation copies. Glen would lose his mind and scream into the mic: "stop stoppppp" --that's how I remember him. Learning the intro to R.E.M.'s "Driver 8" after some kid brought it in. "That's a rip off of The Hollies 'Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress'," he'd say, and make us learn that intro as well. Loved it! I've told friends since the 80s that my high school had a guitar class. They never believe me.
I was an introverted, antisocial kid back then, so I already knew I probably wouldn’t appear in any of these scenes.😅. Class of ‘89 here✌️. A few of these faces triggered some memories, like “Oh yeah, I remember that guy, or that girl!”😂 Little did we know back then that there would be a CZcams someday where we could watch this….didn’t even have internet yet🤭
Mrs. Stewart for Government, Mr. Nelson for Art & Photography, and Kirby for Science classes were awesome. I had all three. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the nostalgic trip to my school while I was attending.
Robert Nelson was an amazing teacher and support for his students. He influenced the trajectory of my life in a very positive way.
