• With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth noting the death of a very important person in the music industry. which almost went unnoticed this past week.

   

  Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote “The Hokey Pokey,” died peacefully in his sleep at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

   

  First they put his left leg in…..and that’s when the trouble started.
