Sent from a friend: “What 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 who left us

almost unnoticed last week: Larry La Prise, the man who wrote “The Hokey

Pokey”, who died peacefully at age 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.” [thanks, Abby!]
