- For those that don't know me very well, you may not know that music is way more than just my career, it's my life!! It's who I am, it's how my brain functions, it's how I've connected to so many people and made so many lasting memories, like you see here. The most common question I get asked at my shows, is "what's your favorite song?" The trouble is, I have too many to just pick one... lol so, last fall, I wrote this song as my attempt to encompass all of my most favorite songs into one, by using bits and pieces of lyrics from them, and even more specifically, lyrics that mention colors-- see how many you can recognize ;)
Hope y'all enjoy it, and thanks so much for listening -- don't forget to like and subscribe! 🙏🎶

Thanks so much! It's amazing to look back and think on all the memories made all because of the gift of music ❤️🎶
@@annawescoat2588 So many great stories from the years. 53 years ago Rosalie and I travelled from fort to fort while I served with everything we owned in a 1966 Mustang. I wrote 66 Mustang trying to capture that memory. I see that same quality in your music. Keep up the great work. Wishing you much success. By the way Rosalie are still travelling and I'm still busking everywhere we go!
@@burlingtonbill4687 that's fantastic!! Love the zest you have for life. Enjoy every minute! 🙏
