@easyrider I have been a big Elton John fan for over half a century, and have also seen him in concert more than once. I don't think I have ever heard that particular song before, which shocked me!! Thank you for sharing it!!

Side note: Elton's husband, David Furnish, was a neighbour growing up. His parents' house was behind us, about five doors down! Although he is younger, he attended the same high school as my brothers and me. :cool:

I've been to loads of concerts and the only one that ever gave me chills was the Elton John concert. Nice side note.

Mattiel.........Somebody's knocking remix. The video scenery is fantastic and reminds me of the Canadian Rockies a bit. Now I have the urge to travel to the Italian Alps,lol.

Jelly Roll......Need a Favor. Somehow Spotify put this song on my chill list. It sounds country-ish but I like country music.

Country or otherwise, that brought me to tears! It hit a little too close to home. My 3-year-old niece has been fighting leukemia for the past year. Fortunately, her prognosis so far is very good, but I could feel the Dad's pain and fear in the video.

I so needed this song at this moment. Thank you!

One thing that I have learned in living with a chronic disease that has a not-so-optimistic mortality rate is to try to stay focused on the blessings around me. Today, @easyrider I thank the Lord above for you and you sharing this song.

An oldie from the TUG songbook:

Renting Scared

Just renting scared
Each time you go;
So afraid
RCI might show.

Yeah, renting scared;
What would I do
If RCI came by
And booted you?

Just renting scared,
Feeling low.
Renting scared
Cause RCI says "No".

Just renting scared,
Afraid to lose
If RCI
enforced its rules.

Then there it was,
RCI sent the note.
"You broke the rules,
No rentals." they wrote.

My heart was pounding,
What should I do?
I ripped their note,
and threw it in the loo!


*********

Here's the melody:

Big Head Todd and the Monsters doing a re-mix of Brandy. The horn section really makes a difference for this one, imo.

With Wicked - the movie - upon us, I thought it appropriate
to play Eric Clapton's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Love listening to Eric Clapton guitar riffs. This is a new one for me.

Thanks for that! I am an Eric Clapton fan, but had not heard that before. Additionally, (Somewhere) Over the Rainbow has been one of my favourite songs since I was a child. So doubly great!

My personal favourite version of (Somewhere) Over the Rainbow is by the late "IZ" K of Hawai'i.

William Devaughn.... Be thankful for what you got............Yup, going way back. Many of us grew up in these old times and remember the scenery.
