Everybody's got a song to sing. I love sharing those songs here, both from famous performers and from ones lesser known. Right now I want to share 'This' from Chase Martinez.

Oh, I wish there was more Travis Yee music out there. I know there will be in time. For now, I am happy to listen to the recordings he has made so far. Here's Travis with 'Beautiful Crazy.'

Birthday greetings to "Weird Al" Yankovic who turned 67 today. We have loved his great musical parodies for many years, but I couldn't decide which one to post. I went all the way back to this one, 'I Lost On Jeopardy,' because of the great video.

This song, 'Open Arms,' is one of my favorites. Does the candlelight make it even more beautiful? It certainly is an interesting stage! Here's Arnel Pineda.

Usually covers are not as good as the original. This is one of the exceptions. Travis Yee sounds great singing 'Always On My Mind.'
