The Candy Man
Written for the c. 1971 movie, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Sammy Davis Junior made the song famous, and the movie was also well received. It's a great song and fun.

The Music of the Night

This is another of Andrew Lloyd Weber's work. There is an identifiable characteristic to his melodies, though I haven't figured out exactly why they are so appealing.
Tell Me Why
มุมมอง 14814 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I cannot find any information about this song. It is an old song, and many similarly named songs exist. I remember singing this with my sister. It starts: Tell me why the stars do shine, tell me why the ivy twines, tell me why the sky's so blue, and I will tell you why I love you.. I didn't copy this from any printed reference because I can't find any. The song is simple and sweet.
All I Ask of You
มุมมอง 8616 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Yesterday I posted "This is All I Ask." I stumbled on a couple of threads. One is that many songs "ask" questions. Most often we ask for the strength and information to solve whatever problems present. The other thread is blaming ourselves for no acquiring the unattainable. So I may be posting more songs that ask questions, or whatever. That's my thinking today. Tomorrow may be different. This ...

This song I first heard from Burl Ives. He doesn't really appear as one of the celebrities that sang this song. Many have sung it since.

This song is another by Andrew Lloyd Weber. "Evita" is one of his brilliant musicals. It's best on stage.
O Happy Day
มุมมอง 219วันที่ผ่านมา
My idea for today was to play "O Happy Day" in every key. The idea was perpetual "Happy Days" all of the time. I hit several keys, but went on too long. The idea was good. I just ran out of attention.
Memory
มุมมอง 120วันที่ผ่านมา
This is "Memory" from the musical "Cats." by the great Andrew Lloyd Weber, one of the great melodists of our time. I played this before but called it "Memories." Clearly, I was wrong., I didn't listen to my old version, but the music makes its own way.
Beneath the Cross of Jesus 2

This is already on my channel. I didn't listen to my first post of this, Ideally, this would be better, but I cannot be my own judge. I like the song very much, but we sing it without thinking about the text. The words are by Elizabeth C. Clephane with music by Frederick C. Maker.
Once in a While
มุมมอง 12821 วันที่ผ่านมา
I truly love this song. It's already on my channel, but I couldn't think of anything else to play. One of the most important part of songs is the lyrics. I do hope people will look them up. My schedule has been a bit sporadic. Hope you enjoy this.
September

I already posted what I thought was my version, but my technical talents raged, and I posted 2 or 3 minutes of me looking at a blank screen, so I re-recorded it. It's not exactly a piano song, but I did my best to present reasonably.
September

This song is by Earth, Wind and Fire. It's a great song, but not what I'd call pianistic. So this took me a while to come up with a version that sort of works. I'd rather have Earth., Wind and Fire at my party.

This song was made famous by Brenda Lee in 1962. Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis. The translation of the title of the Greek version is "Don't Ask the Sky.' That's Greek to me. I learned the details by playing along with Brenda Lee on youtube. Enjoy.

See You in September

I have been lax in my postings, all with good reason. This is my September celebration. This indicates that most of my life has been around education, so September is the annual new beginning. New Years is a break, a party. This also took me a while as I kept forgetting a section. I only have one more September song in the queue. It is by Earth Wind and Fire. It is not particularly suited to th...
