Song #57: Piano Man by Billy Joel

Isn't it funny when you've heard a song for years and loved a song for years, and you hear it one day and hear a lyric that you've never really paid attention to and realize how amazingly brilliant it is?  That's what happened to me tonight when I heard "Piano Man" by Billy Joel.  "They're sharing a drink they call loneliness but it's better than drinking alone."  WOW, that is awesome!  He's got to be one of the best storyteller songwriters of all time.

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 #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.

Song #25 "Down On The Corner" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

CCR is one of my favorite groups.  I became a fan when I was in college.  I even did a paper on their "Willy & The Poor Boys" album for one of my classes at MTSU.  This is my favorite song of theirs.  I don't really know why, but it just is.  I think it just puts me in a good mood.  It's definitely in my top 10 fav songs list.
