January 11th, 2014 - How to "sing" a song in sign language

Before last night, my knowledge of sign language really only amounted to a certain one finger salute that shows displeasure for someone else.  That someone else is usually an asshole.

To change that, I asked Bethann Flaherty to help me learn some more signs.  Specifically, Bethann showed me how to "sing" a song in sign language.  As my voice is something not to be confused with anything resembling melody, I feel like this has opened up a whole new world for me.


Yes, I'm dressed like Lloyd Dobler for this lesson.  And like Lloyd, my assault on sign language world begins now!

 It's as easy as that! Now, it might not be a song that I'll have occasion to sing often, but it was encouraging to know that with a little practice, I could learn it without much difficulty.  I should be moving on to the hits in no time!

I'm betting that "Freebird" is just going to be a lot of air guitar.
