Sing Along at 11:00am

I appreciate a good Sing-Along and always have...  However, I have mixed feelings in regards to the sing-alongs that take place on the Today Show with Kathy Lee and Hoda Kotb at 11:00am.  This morning I heard "Play That Funky Music White Boy" in the other room, so I walked out to see what was going on.  You have Hoda jammin' and singing to the music...  Then you have Kathy Lee looking unimpressed, confused, and somewhat out of place sitting along side of her.

First, thank you Hoda for committing EVERY time!  She sings, although her voice isn't necessarily record quality.  I like this though, because it's encouraging to all the tone-deaf or shower-only singers out there!  ;)  But, shame on you Kathy Lee for not embracing this moment to look silly, sing along, and commit to the musical moment in front of thousands of people!  It could be a moment to really grab the watchers at home - but it needs a little work week to week.

As I often say to people who don't always enjoy the music therapy taking place in the classroom next door - that happens once every other week for an hour and a half...  LET YOURSELF GO!  Tap along to the beat, listen to the happy voices, and possibly even SING ALONG!  :)  You may find that it lifts your mood even more!

So, I want to say:  Kudo's to Hoda for having fun and making music! Your sing alongs always make me smile - so don't stop!
