Just had to share a very strange experience this morning. In the morning I tend to watch the Today show while I'm getting ready. It's a New York-centric show and it's just the sort of fluff one needs to start the day. Not too heavy, not too light.

Well, this morning I turn it on as they're going out to Al in Rockefeller Plaza for the weather. You know the scene, he's going around the lines of screaming tourists. What happened next still seems bizarre to me. It went like this -

"And who are you?"
"The Marshall Singers," followed by a generic cheer.
"From Marshall..."
"Marshall, Michigan"
"Can you sing for us?"

And with that a small group of pimply boys from my hometown serenaded the nation with our National Anthem.

Marshall, Michigan. Population 7,000. Too strange for words.
