Default Passing of a Legend

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world
at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of
a very important person, which almost went unnoticed
last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote "The Hokie Pokey"
died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic
part for his family was getting him into the coffin.
They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Shut up. You know it's funny.

It was hard to shut up because it was so funny. I laughed so hard I "shook it all about"
Good one!

It was getting the "back side in" that always troubled me.

We will miss him.

Believe he died on April 4, 1996??? Muncle that is a funny story though. We did not get on the internet until late 1998 at our house.
