Default Sad news...

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 Hokey 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...

Never was a fan of the song, but a source for many great quips.

Hat'* off to the man responsible for all the good laughs and the fun had by all the wedding reception drunks trying to do the hokey pokey, on the dance floor, bar and hotel rooms.
