I love Jeff Beck! The video for “Ambitious” is pure fun full of delightful cameos! Check it out and see for yourself. My favorites are Marilyn McCoo, Jon Butcher and Donny Osmond! Yes, I know. He was great in it, trust me. The best part comes during McCoo’s performance and Jeff does that shooting sound…
Maxi Priest’s “Watching the World Go By” (1996) still stirs the soul after all these years. I connect to its message whenever I’m in a certain kind of mood. Usually it’s when my day has ramped up to a fever pitch and I can’t even get a moment to catch my breath. On many occasions…

I love John Mayer’s “SAY” from “The Bucket List”. He wrote it after being moved to tears from reading the script. What a beautiful song and powerful message. We should all make a bucket list and say what we need to say while we still can in this wonderful life. Lyrics for “SAY” Take all…
