Singing to Youtube


Three nights ago, it was just Bob, Michael, and me at home. We watched "27 Dresses" which has a memorable barroom rendition of "Benny and the Jets" by Elton John. So we looked it up on the Internet, on Youtube, a version with words, and I started singing along. (If you've never looked them up, I'll tell ya, there are some weird words.) Then Bob started singing along (okay, anyone who knows Bob can pick themselves up off the floor now) then Michael started singing along, even though he didn't know what a lot of the words meant.
As I sat there blubbering "B-B-B-Benny and the Jetssssss" I had the vision of an old-timey family gathered around the piano in song. Well, we had the gathering part right, but the piano was replaced by a computer. Hey, it's all about togetherness.

Oh, I just wish I had been there to see that! Or that you had at least videoed it and put it out on YouTube! :)

I just read the previous three or so entries. You are a clever writer. I just finished reading 13th reality and enjoyed it too. I see that you were acknowledged as helping it come to pass. awesome job. Susan Cochrun
