“While I was disappointed to see the Sixers lose yesterday (Monday), the Raptors definitely win when it comes to cute intros. They had their family members do the intros. The kids are especially great/cute.” – Arvind
From Jennifer Sheffield (CIS)
“An organization called Washington Revels has an ongoing “Daily Antidote of Song” every day at noon, wherein a guest song leader introduces and teaches a song to whoever’s watching. They seem to vary from 10 to 20 minutes or so, sometimes longer. This week and next week have the theme “Singing for Racial Justice”. The song leaders for today (Wednesday 8/19] are Pat and Sandy of Emma’s Revolution, who are among my favorite singer/songwriters.” – Jen
