Former front man of Queen, Freddie Mercury, was a vocal god of rock. That cat could do things with his voice that just amazed me. While I’m a pale substitute, this song is the first I ever heard from this monster group and singer of Rock. R.I.P. Freddie. You can […]

I decided to do something a little different and chant. Using John 1, I allowed the melody to be guided. I used to do this quite often and I will be doing a lot lore as it is freeing to let the Spirit sing the song. *chuckle*, at the end […]
I first heard this version of Ave Maria performed by one of the greatest Tenors of our day. Pavarotti was (and sill is) an inspiration of mine. I will say that the early rain added a nice touch. This marks the first time I got through a song with no […]
I’ve performed this piece at countless weddings and church services. It’s been a long time favorite of mine. For me, this song honors God who gave me my singing voice. I FOUND MY SWEET SPOT!!! Not too much traffic and my voice was very warmed up…YEAH!!! You can follow / […]

Day 10 | “Beautiful” Christina Aguilera’s song hits a chord with a lot of people. Many of us seem to focus on the ugliness not only within ourselves but on others as well. It seems only fitting that on the day that I hit my double-digit for the week, this […]

Day 8 | “The Doxology” I had my song all picked out and ready to go, but it was while on route The Doxology came to mind. I figured that God wanted me to sing it, so I did. Lyrics: Praise God from whom all blessings flow Praise Him all […]
Day 7 | “Oh Danny Boy” Before I started this odyssey, I contacted the police department just so they would know that I wasn’t causing trouble under the overpass. It was a surprise when I saw a request from the Trenton (MO) Police Department for this song. It seemed like […]
So, I wanted to do a song with the least amount of traffic so I did this just after midnight. I will say that I only sang parts of it and I did blank out on some of the Italian. One of the most popular arias from one of the […]
This is one of my favorite hymns. Admittedly, this will be song at my funeral. This hymn was born out of tragedy for the composer, who lost his family at sea. When his ship went over the spot where the other ship that was to bring his family over to […]
This was one of my very first German pieces in beginning voice by Schumann I love singing the language and coupled with the brooding theme of the piece, what seventeen year old wouldn’t love it….well, at least this former seventeen year old. Jeff Nolte was my first voice teacher in […]
