January 7: You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand… “Mickey” written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn and sung by Toni Basil. The lyric was originally “Kitty”, then “Mickey” and today I think we should sing it as “Ricky” in honor of Broadway producer Ricky Stevens’ birthday. Oh, Ricky, you’re so fine….

Thanks for adding some pep to our step on a Monday morning!
Suzanne, Happy New Year
I am a new subscriber via the 60880 blog — thank you. I now look forward to the song each day.
Here is a suggestion for a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0EN_Hmq534

Dear Mike: Thanks for the suggestions. I love “Amazing Grace” and teach it to my students each January as part of my Civil Rights/Martin Luther King lessons. I look forward to hearing this version. Sadly, we had a student die last year and I posted “Amazing Grace’ in June as it was a song we sang in the funeral and a favorite song of his family’s. Any other suggestions?
