We owe a huge shout out to THE BLOGGESS for turning us onto GABRIELLA BIR. Just 15 years of age, Miss Bir’s music is absolutely delightful. We cannot get enough of her song “To The Moon”.

We can see this lovely and endearing song in any … Continue reading TRACK OF THE DAY: “To the Moon” by Gabriella Bir

SONG: “Let it Ride” ORIGINAL ARTIST: RYAN ADAMS COVER ARTIST: GARETH ASHER This is actually one of my favorite songs by RYAN ADAMS and after hearing the butchering of “Stars Go Blue” by country artist, TIM McGRAW, I am always skeptical of hearing any Ryan song covered.
