Anyone? Anyone?

Today the guitar teacher was trying to get his 8th grade students to name famous American composers. He prompted them with first names, and waited for the last names. It was like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off at one point –
Him: “Aaron? Anyone? Anyone?
Kids: (UNCONCSIOUS)
Him: Copeland……Aaron Copeland.”

Him: “Richard? Anyone? Anyone?
Kids: (DROOLING IN PATTERNS ON THEIR MUSIC STANDS)
Him: Rodgers….Richard Rodgers.”

The part where I spit my mouthful of coffee across the room in a fit of giggles was this one:
Him: “Leonard?
Kids: (LOUDLY and in UNISON) SKYNARD!
