This was Jessica's request way back in July (!) and BShortysbaby92 two days ago (timely). Thank you for suggesting this one and for your patience! www.rascalflatts.com
BTW, I was FREEZING doing this one, so not too many attempts to perfect it. Can't exactly sign with a hat & gloves on.... This one had to be done outside, even if it is December; it wouldn't have been right done on my couch. Hm, and the full-on redhead must be the lighting! Lyrics below~
My story: To begin, I chose my YT name so that my friend could find it easily -- & I could remember it! It just made sense. However, now that it's found it's way to over 29,000 people, I don't like that it sounds like I'm an expert selling something. I am neither. I cannot change the name or I lose the videos, as well as the great, supportive comments I've received.
I am not deaf. I was inspired to learn from my cousin & my ASL instructor, both of whom are deaf, as well as from a friend's child. I am not an interpreter, although that may be a route I chose someday when my children are older. I have a long way to go to become even close to fluent in ASL, so I admire those that are. I also took classes to learn Signed Exact English (S.E.E.) as some schools here use SEE to teach young children who are also learning to read. Signing here is not enough practice versus having real conversations with someone who is deaf; that is the best way to learn.
I started signing to songs with my daughter for fun, then did my friend's fav song for her birthday ("My Wish"). My email couldn't handle the video, so I popped it up here. I never intended, nor imagined, that it would start getting thousands of hits and people would start requesting that I try their fav songs. I would have redone that video ASL appropriate if I had known! I will someday, but for now, I keep it here because I did it with my friend in mind, not the 29,000 other people :-)
Songs are difficult to translate into straight ASL, as ASL is not
