Last night we started watching _WKRP in Cincinnati_ as our nightly comedy series. So I’ve got that theme song stuck in my head. I remember raeding back when the show was still on the air that the singer was actually Richard Sanders (Les). This was in the proto-Internet days and there was no quick way to check the (false) rumor. I suspect there’s a lot of people who still believe it anyway. ---

Ma Nishtana, halilah hazeh mi kol halilot…mi kol halilot, etc. Sung very slowly. We’re teaching it to the kids at the preschool-- a lot of the will be the ones singing it at their tables, if we can teach it. Or maybe the really little ones will just sing the first question, and then progressively older kids, with better memories, will sing the other ones. I warned my son that he might end up singing the last bit where we are going. ---
