CTY

[rivkat]

Anyone out there go to CTY? I recently saw it mentioned on a nerd purity test, which reminded me of my many good experiences there. I went to law school with a woman who recognized me from CTY, though I with my terrible memory for names and faces was useless. (There must be a good latinate term for that, like facialnomial memory or something.)

Anyway, one year I was there, I heard a song at a talent show, the basics of which have stayed with me to this day. It was called Checkup to My Heart, and it was about a dentist:

...That's what the fact is,
You'll be a dentist with a private practice
I want to be the only one who's on your dental chart
Let me in your office
Give a checkup to my heart
(Doot, doot, doo doo doo doot)

I would love to find some other person who remembers this, but even if I'm the only one, at least it's been preserved for posterity.

My back is killing me. I don't know why.

I went to CTY but I don't remember the song, sorry. I was at Dickenson in '87-'89. My talent show memories are mostly Rocky Raccoon and a song I still have never heard or identified anywhere else, that began "tonight I leave you there, where I found you, starting up a hill..."

By the way I recently met a 19 year old CTYer -- apparently the culture has morphed in all kinds of fascinating directions in the ten years between us.
