Couple's Sign Language Car Singalong Goes Viral

Couple's Sign Language Car Singalong Goes Viral

Video of an American Sign Language interpreter, and fiancé, signing interpretations of popular songs becomes an online hit.



The car signalong video of Tina Cleveland, an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, and her fiancé, Paul Sirimarco, have a highly entertaining road trip tradition.



While most families resign themselves to playing "I Spy," "21 Questions," and, in moments of sheer desperation, "Slug Bug," Tina and Paul are having a blast "singing" along to songs in ASL.



A video of the couple signing along to "You're The One That I Want" was uploaded to YouTube Thursday and features them dancing along as the "Grease" soundtrack pipes into the background.

"Hey everyone! I am an ASL interpreter and Paul is an amazing fiancé who learns signs so we can do song interpretations together."



In a post on Facebook, Cleveland declared, "Our road trips are anything but normal."



"Being able to share music through sign language (and dance) is honestly what my little heart lives for," she added in another post. "Also, hearing people saying they want to learn ASL is sooooo awesome! Do it!!!" Source

CODA Kambri Crews and Burn Down The Ground

VIDEO: CODA - Kambri Crews and Burn Down The Ground: A Memoir:



NEW YORK CITY - Kambri Crews is an American comedic storyteller based in New York City and author of Burn Down The Ground: A Memoir, a book about her chaotic childhood with Deaf parents.



For fans of Jeannette Walls’ The Glass Castle, an unflinching, emotional memoir by the hearing daughter-CODA of two Deaf parents, about the rampant dysfunction of her rural Texas childhood and the searing violence that left her father serving a twenty-year prison sentence.



Successful New York producer and publicist Kambri Crews always knew that her childhood was unusual - she spent much of it in a tin shack deep with her family in the woods of Texas. But when, in her early 30s, her charismatic and adored father is sentenced to twenty years in prison for stabbing and nearly killing his girlfriend, she must confront for the first time his violent, destructive behavior.

In her brutally honest, completely captivating memoir, Crews struggles to forge a relationship with her incarcerated father and revisits her unconventional family and the long road she took to her current life. ... Read more reviews of BURN DOWN THE GROUND



Here’s what folks are saying about Kambri Crews and Burn Down the Ground: A Memoir:

“Poignant and unsettling.” - Kirkus Reviews.



“…a compelling testament to the strength of the human spirit.” - Booklist.
