This is my take on one of my favorite songs of all time – Can’t Find My Way Home by Steve Winwood. And here is a live version by the master himself:

Here is an oldie you’re sure to remember. It can be found with the other songs here.

“You want to be with me everywhere? Really? Can’t we talk about this?” And here is the sheet music:

Here is Electric Light Orchestra’s Strange Magic. If ever there was music that could be called magical, this is it. Trust me, I know these things. And here is a song you may know. Can you name it?

I came across some playlists that have the Billboard Top 100 songs from the 1950’s through today. From the 1964 list, this is my version of The Girl from Ipanema. Here is another song from that same year. This is from a genre of music called “Happy Tunes.”

This is the only instrumental song to ever win a Grammy award for best song and best soundtrack album. Here are all of the best song winners over the years. Can you name this tune?

Were you alive in November 1980? Steely Dan released an album at that time titled “Gaucho.” This is one version of a song from said album. It is titled “My Rival.” Although Donald Fagen used different keyboards in the song, I think a piano works really well, don’t you agree? Surely you must!

This is my version of Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker.

Here is something you don’t hear every day: A new version of “On Green Dolphin Street”: And here is Miles Davis playing the same song: Everyone sing along:

The very first mp3 I ever made was a version of this song, way back in January 2020. I think this new version in .wav format sounds much improved. And this version was updated on Saturday, April 15th. If it takes a while to load up, it is probably because it is 153 megabytes. The
