August 8:  You’d be surprised, there’s so much to be done… “House at Pooh Corner” written by Kenny Loggins and performed here by Loggins & Messina (though, originally recorded by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. )

UPDATE:  The video has been removed. 🙁

The beginning of the video is a little jarring, but I am grateful to have found a lyric video for this song; most of the Pooh Corner lyric videos appear to be for “Return To Pooh Corner”, also by Kenny Loggins and sung by Kenny Loggins, Amy Grant & Gary Chapman.)    LYRICS & SONGFACTS  SPOTIFY

August 5:  You have come and it has changed my whole world… “So Amazing” written and sung by Luther Vandross.  Every year on the first Sunday in August, riders* in the Pan Mass Challenge complete a very long bike ride to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  (Some even meet and fall in love on that special day.) Congratulations and love to all (and a special shout out to the Lone Pine Lane/Tamarac and Old Hill Road/East Meadow Birthday Girls.)    LYRICS  SPOTIFY

August 3:  It’s my birthday and I want to let the music play… “Listen To The Music” written by Tom Johnston and performed by The Doobie Brothers.   LYRICS & SONGFACTS SPOTIFY

Long gone are the days when people ask me what I want for my birthday. (Maybe it’s because my answer is usually “World Peace”…or “whirled peas”, as my husband Peter likes to say.)
But this year, in keeping with my attempt to spread good karma through music to as many people as possible, my birthday request is more specific:
Please encourage one new person to subscribe to my singdaily.com e-mail newsletter.
This is a wholly philanthropic endeavor; no money has been spent by anyone except me, Peter and my mom (Thanks, Mom!) and zero profit has been made; I’m just itching to share my love of music with more people.

Thanks, in advance, for your kind gift. 🙂

Love & World Peace – Suzanne
