Happy Mother's Day!

Some of you may be aware that I was asked to perform at a brunch in honor of Mother's Day on Friday morning. The week before, I put a whole bunch of cool new songs in my repertoire for the occasion. I recorded a few of these to share yesterday:

--Mamma Mia: https://youtu.be/GY6bzVOpn3Y?si=SQFxbZH6foSuJYu_
--In My Daughter's Eyes: https://youtu.be/O_jnWdz0xyI?si=FBVM-kMZsmbEUKqF
--Coat of Many Colors: https://youtu.be/HFDk5gAV3ww?si=Y8DZQJitb_962cwT
--You And Me Against the World: https://youtu.be/9nOIIM1uKbo?si=o2SlygvmlJECgPho

You can find my "Mother's Day" play list for referencing all 4 on YouTube here:

It would be so meaningful if you "reacted" or commented on any of the videos you enjoyed. If you subscribe to my channel you'll be notified when I add anything new.

If you want to know the deeper side of things, read on.....

In all transparency, I am much more comfortable performing live than recording videos.... but some of these songs are very meaningful. I choked up on a couple of them. Maybe if you take a listen, the same songs will have some meaning for you (and you will forgive my flaws).

I have been adding songs to YouTube when I get a chance. It's not about being famous or getting tons of subscribers (though I don't mind having interested subscribers). As I age, I keep thinking, "I am not sure how much longer I will be (or be able to) do all the singing I keep up with today. Through my lifetime, I have learned thousands of songs. And a few years ago, I gave up trying to remember all the lyrics - though I suppose if I challenged myself.....It's a possibility.

I love to talk a little song history or about related song memories. On YouTube, I consider my song descriptions a "mini blog". Music is a joy for me and most of my audiences. That makes it meaningful as I perform it, but what happens to all that music I have learned and shared through the years? Perhaps one day my legacy will be to help someone find that song they've been looking for as a sentiment for a loved one. Or maybe some kid in the future wants to hear about and learn some music from the past. Who knows?

Helen Reddy released her version of this song in 1974. Written by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams, the song has been covered by Paul Williams himself, and o...

A Singing Telegram? Isn't that when someone dresses up in a silly costume, runs up to a designated person, sings Happy Birthday (or something else), and does something embarrassing for the fun of it? Do they still do that? Singing telegrams have been around since 1933. Per Wikipedia, they were first...

What would you do with One More Day?

I have been video-taping a bunch of love songs today. I had a list but then I was looking through my repertoire and saw this one. Maybe it's not the first song we think of for Valentine's Day, but it is a love song. Whether you have your special person(s) - or a reprieve on life, are you living each day as if you won't have tomorrow? We never really know when our tomorrows may cease.

Consider - What would you do with One More Day?

Hope you enjoy this Diamond Rio rendition.

This song was released by Diamond Rio in 2000 and rotated through the charts again in 2001 as a tribute to those who died in the September 11, 2001 attacks. ...
