I caught a You Tube tonight. (Below)
Just as I was about to go to bed.

Back in the day when Charles Schultz had the Peanuts gang teaching us our history?
Well the voice in this seems the same.

A word of caution-I had a child, my daughter Syl,  that memorized like this but I wasn't so cool as to be taking it to the Presidents-yeah not like this- though she can sing them thanks to seeing Animaniacs a few time.

Lately that's a demon I'm slaying or facing.
