  • Singing “I Concentrate on You”

    This is me singing Cole Porter’s song “I Concentrate on You.” I used YouTube’s “Captions and Subtitles” feature to upload a subtitle file. I hand-coded the subtitle file in BBEdit using the subtitle (.sub) format. To view the video with captions, click the up-arrow button on the bottom-right corner of the screen and choose CC, English: English captions.

  • Singing & signing “Some Children See Him”

    I purposefully adapted some of the hand-shapes to create sign-rhymes. While no song that is simultaneously sung and signed is truly ASL, I do hope that I have created something here that can be enjoyed by both hearing and deaf people. I also believe that people of all faiths can appreciate the hope that each newborn child brings: that he or she may help to heal this world.

  • Singing “Your Mother And Mine” to Mom on Mother’s Day

  • Singing “You Make Me Feel So Young”

    Here are the lyrics to this 1946 popular song by Mack Gordon:

    You make me feel so young.
    You make me feel so “Spring has sprung”,
    And every time I see you grin
    I’m such a happy individual.

    The moment that you speak
    I want to go and play hide-and-seek.
    I want to go and bounce the moon
    Just like a toy balloon.

    You and I are just like a couple of tots
    Runnin’ across the meadow
    Pickin’ up lots of forget-me-nots.

    You make me feel so young.
    You make me feel there are songs to be sung,
    Bells to be rung, wonderful fling to be flung.
    And even when I’m old and gray
    I’m gonna feel the way I do today
    ‘Cause you – you make me feel so young.

    You make me feel so young.
    You make me feel so young.
    Ooo – you make me feel so young.
