I can't believe it's been a year since the historic Nashville, TN flood. I chose "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles because I saw this youtube video last year & it was one of the best slideshows I saw about the flood. God bless all those who's homes & lives were affected by the flood. God bless the people of Nashville for being the amazing helpers to our neighbors. I'm so proud to call this city home!
I love music, so much that I work in the music industry. I married a songwriter & most of my friends are in the biz or have been in the biz. One morning as I was driving to work I thought that it would be fun (for me at least) to pick a song each day to share to the world & explain why I chose it. These songs are just songs that make me happy for one reason or another and my simple opinion. Who knows maybe I'll introduce you to something new that you love. I hope so. Thanks!

Song #53: "One For My Baby & One More For The Road" by Frank Sinatra
"One For My Baby & One More For The Road" by 'ole blue eyes' is just such a great classic standard. I only learned today that Johnny Mercer co-wrote it. He's becoming one of my fav songwriters.

Song #52: "Mr. Bojangles" by Robbie Williams
I love the song "Mr Bojangles." There's tons of versions out there & most of them are amazing. I do love the version from the musical Fosse with Ben Vereen dancing the Bo Jangles part. But, tonight I'm choosing the Robbie Williams version. First off Robbie Williams is such an over looked/underestimated pop star. He did an album of standards that is simply amazing! If you can, check it out, you won't be disappointed if you like that style of music. Anyway, here it is. Hope you love it too!
I went ahead & put the Ben Vereen version on here too.... I mean, why not! :)

Song #51: "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohen
Today I heard a great brand new song about Memphis, which made me think of another great song about Memphis, "Walking In Memphis" by Marc Cohen. I have ALWAYS loved this song (except the Lonestar cover of it). Growing up, I traveled to Memphis quite a bit, so I will always have a special place in my heart for this town. I think that this song & video both are a great tribute to it. Aaahh...memories.

Song #50: "My Blue Heaven" by Norah Jones
There's a tribute album to Fats Domino that came out a few years ago. Norah Jones covered "My Blue Heaven." I just love her version of that song. The rest of the record ain't half bad either. Check it out! PS. I have no idea what this video really is. Looks like a slide show that someone put together with the song in the background.
