What shall Elana do for her birthday?! Why, sing along with sam, of course. The advertisement here at the library stated that one needs to be AT LEAST 3 YEARS OLD! to attend! I think I'll pass for at least 3. Turns out that many newborns snuck in!
Sing along with Sam is a brief live music interactive show for kids. About 100 people showed up! That's one of the biggest turn outs I've ever seen for a library event anywhere.
"Good morning boys and girls." "I love to sing (he plays guitar too) but singing alone makes me feel lonely. I'd like to know if you'd help me out?!"
YEAH! the kids shouted.
"I didn't hear you! Can you say that louder?!"
YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" The kids shouted in their loudest voices.
"I'm going to draw a picture, and I'd like you to tell me what it is!" He draws what looks like eyes, or maybe even women's breasts! I think it's best not to yell "WOMEN'S BREASTS!" A child yells EYES!
Sam keeps drawing. It's beginning to come together for us. I realize it's a bus. Oh, I think: the first song we're going to sing is "The wheels on the bus!"
IT'S A BUS!" a kid yells.
All together now!
the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round the wheels on the bus go round and round all thru the town!
what else does a bus have? sam asks.
WIPERS! i shout.
YES WIPERS!
THE WIPERS ON THE BUS GO SWISH SWISH SWISH
SWISH SWISH SWISH
SWISH SWISH SWISH
THE WIPERS ON THE BUS GO
SWISH SWISH SWISH
ALL THROUGH THE TOWN
