Pictures from Last Week!

Kathe and Labyrinth

Musical Selections - Yes, they're the same as last week! The Insert Video feature wasn't working on Constant Contact!

Believe In Something - (Official Music Video) - Original Song by Mat and Savanna Shaw

I am a big fan of Mat and Savannah Shaw (They've sort of outgrown the Daddy and Daughter Duet title!) This is an original song written by them that I believe is really appropriate for our current time: "Believe in Something!"

Light of a Clear Blue Morning (Dolly Parton) - Bel Canto Choir Vilnius

Another piece that seems to be designed for our current times is this Craig Hella Johnson arrangement of a Dolly Parton composition "Light of a Clear Blue Morning." Here it is sung so well by the Bel Canto Choir Vilnius.
