 It’s the the violinist Itzhak Pearlman’s birthday and to celebrate this day, I am sharing a recording of him playing “Flight of the Bumblebee” that he performed when he was a boy. The clip made me smile and I so I’m including it in this post in the hope that it has the same effect on others. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always. You can watch the clip here

We are the World

 The singer Michael Jackson was born today in 1958 and one of the songs he’s famous for performing with a large group of other singers is called We Are The World. I always liked it because it was successful in raising millions of dollars for charity. Plus, it’s cheerful and makes me feel good when I hear it. You can listen to it here. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
