Try to Remember - Hong Kong Parents Choir 2015



September is magic.  Bittersweet.  I think of this song each September.  "Try to remember that time in September when dreams were kept beside your pillow." I love this video.  You need to watch it in full screen to see the parents up close.  We really are more alike.

Who'd have thunk? Faded out blue jeans and white shirts.  So sweet.

Faithless Love



One of my favorite songs from way back in the 70's, written by J.D. Souther.  He has a wonderful voice and wrote many hits for stars including the Eagles, Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt. I think Linda's version was the most famous.  I found this cover by Bernadette Peters and thought it beautiful.  I still love J.D.'s version best, just his voice and acoustic guitar, but couldn't figure out how to get it on this post too.  It's on youtube or it can be purchased on itunes.

EVENING STAR


Though not really a star, the evening star is usually a planet, visible just before dark, during the gloaming or in the east just before sunrise. This is Venus watching the Moon. When I was a young Camp Fire Girl, we used to sit around a summer campfire and sing this song.
Tell me why
the stars do shine.
Tell me why
the ivy twines.
Tell me why
the ocean's blue.
And I will tell you
just why I love you...
