A colleague shared this with us at work today... Very fun...
Or how about this spoof of "Jesus Take the Wheel"?
Then there's his take on the song, "I Can Only Imagine"
They just keep coming...
More on Youtube... Enjoy!

worth the wait
My "birthday present" from my parents - a note-by-note keyboard Billy Joel book - arrived in the mail today. (My birthday was months ago, but that's a whole other story, right Mom?) :-)
In it, there were a couple of songs I hadn't heard before. Presumably they were all hits at some point, but let's face it, I was pretty little when most of his stuff was REALLY big. At any rate, this is the song that nearly brought me to tears while I was playing & singing it through for the first time... It's been a while since a song did that to me, so I had to share it.
And as I played through it on the piano for about the 10th time tonight, I thought two things mainly - how beautiful it is to open ourselves up to the risk of loving someone (as per the lyrics), and that I think I "do music" in my life because it opens me up - to new ideas, new melodies, new richness. Incidentally, the guest speaker at the high school grad I attended today spoke of music's power - so a little "synchronicity" happening for me today, I suppose.
At any rate, two things I want to be grateful for tonight - among many others. 1) For Billy Joel for doing what he does so well. 2) For my parents, and the generations of family before them, for sharing the gift of music...

Life List
So, I think I added something to my life list today: Being a part of something like this...
Not necessarily dancing, though - just something that is unexpected, but brings people together, puts a smile on people's faces, brightens their day and gives them a great story to tell... How fun!! (Thanks for showing me this, Shauna!)
Here's another example:
Of course, it could also be a lot simpler...

Doggie's Delight
So I came across this video today. Apparently this is how one engineer has chosen to keep his very active dog occupied... Brilliant if you ask me. :-)
