The Moss Family sing-a-long this morning went exactly as you might expect. Dottie was right on time and wearing a hat, so I had to go get a hat. Sister was late, but it was early in California so we gave her a break. Brother had not downloaded ZOOM as instructed until the meeting already started, and once sister joined the meeting I was forced to mute her so we could get started. Unfortunately she is familiar with ZOOM and knew how to unmute herself and thus chaos ensued. Also, for some unknown reason, Brother decided to wear a cloistered monk ensemble using a kitchen towel in lieu of a scapular and a cowl.
There will have to be more practicing in order for this unruly bunch to pull off a REAL sing-a-long but I am not giving up yet. I have been informed that cocktail hour would be a more suitable time to schedule it. By the way, I did record part of our session with my phone, but trying to run the camera, sing the song, moderate the ZOOM room, and keep everyone in line proved to be too much, resulting in a very unsatisfactory video. As you will see below.
To make up for this atrocity, I want to share this link below. Maybe you all already know about it, but on the chance that you don't, let me share Songs from Home from Mary Chapin Carpenter (and her dog Angus & white kitty who likes to nap a lot).
Nothing heals, or touches the soul, like music. Mary Chapin Carpenter is one of the greats. Happy Saturday!
That was wonderful! We need an encore.

Love me some Mary Chapin Carpenter. I'll be checking her YouTube channel on the regular for new installments. I think the Moss family sing a long was a success!!! You were all in attendance and that's a WIN.

Everything about this post is lovely. Both sorts of singing, the idea of sharing like this on your screens. You all in your hats and tea towel.
Our granddaughter in Amsterdam wants both families to eat a meal together over Skype. Not sure how that will work.

Loved it all, but especially Angus!

I know Terri! Isn't Angus dear? I love how he lays down when she is singing.

Chrissy: I think a meal together sounds wonderful. We have had snacks and wine and played games :-)

Chris I am not telling Brother he deserves his name in lights or he will think he deserves a larger share of the profits from the Moss Family Singer profit pool!
