Laughter is the greatest healer of body and soul in my opinion.  So, anytime we get a chance to share it with you, we do-even in these dark times.

We are all familiar with the classic musical "The Sound of Music."  It's been a Broadway show, a live TV event starring Carrie Underwood, and the movie version won 5 Oscars including "Best Picture," "Best Director," and "Best Actress" (Julie Andrews).

In that movie, there's iconic scene where Julie Andrews and the Von Trapp children are sitting atop a mountain and she's teaching them about music and singing.  The song she chooses to illustrate this is, "Do Re Mi."

I know, you haven't seen this movie in years and you can sing part of this song right now.  Anyway, yesterday, I came across this...a reworked version of this scene that teaches us about the Coronavirus and how we need to behave to defeat it.
