Two weeks ago, I was teaching piano to a cute little girl. She stops halfway through the lesson, “I really like your song, Sunshine.” “Thanks, Betsy. That’s really nice of you to say.” “My mom showed it to me. It’s happy.” “Yes, yes, it is.” I said to her, “You sure are happy today.” (A […]

I released this lyric video two weeks ago. It has 866 views in that short time. (After four years, my video for “Forever Changed” has 700-something views.) What the heckerville?
