When I was a kid my family loved to sing. My sister had a lovely soprano voice and my dad sang all these out-dated silly songs that embarrassed me at the time. Now I’d give anything to hear him sing again. I’ve collected some of my favorite sing-along songs. Singing always helps to raise the spirits and in these difficult times it just might help. So sing along … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine!
