Larry LaPrise Died

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. That's when the trouble started...

Funny, yeah that box will need a suspension system! That song's a staple with kids here in Japan, along with Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, the ABC song and a couple of others.
