ASL Partay!


Jon Richardson introduced me on to this guy's work.  His name is Stephen Torrence, who is signing this Miley Cyrus hit in American Sign Language.

He is positively infectious.

Enjoy.

    What a sweetie!

    When we lived in Seattle in the mid 80's the Seattle Mens Chorus had a sign interpreter for their concerts who was phenomenal. It was a combination of not only signing but also aspects of dance, all without moving from one spot. I would be mesmerized watching him and then miss things on stage!

    I LOVE to watch ASL during a concert. It's absolutely mesmerizing. I'm delighted to see that there's ASL YouTube.

    David, that gifted man is Kevin Gallagher--and he's still doing it, all these years later. ASL is available regularly at my home parish on Sundays and feast days.

    Elizabeth, thank you for your blog. It's a treat to feast on it on my lunch hour.
