Allen Levi, Concert in Reverse: Song # 13 Made to Fly

Allen Levi performed in a concert earlier this year and the venue that hosted the concert, SIlvan Guitars posted the concert on their you tube channel. In trying to trim the songs to share here, I discovered that I could start the videos anytime during the concert but it would end up playing the rest of the concert after playing the selected song.

This gave me an idea to post these songs in reverse performance order. Today I start with the encore, Made to Fly. When I return soon with song # 12 you will have the option of watching song 2 and then the end of the concert. In a few weeks time you will be able to watch the entire concert in a backwards progression. I hope you enjot this concert in reverse.

Colors of the Rainbow | Color Song for Kids | Learning the Colors | Jack...

I work as a substitute teacher in a local school district. I have been doing this for the last 4 school years and have found that I really enjoy it and seem to be good at it. Since January of this year, I have been doing mostly long term subbing which usually means filling in for a teacher or paraeducator on maternity leave.

A few days before the beginning of this school year I was contacted by my wife/s principal (My wife is a school pyschologist) who wanted to know if I would teach her schools art classes while they searched for a permanent art teacher. I had previously done two shorter stints subbing for the art teacher at that school and found that while it was a little out of my comfort zone it also landed firm in my sweet spot. Buoyed my my previous experience I quickly agreed.

My students range from kindergartners to 5th graders. II like tend to teach between 2 or 3different lessons to encompass all the age groups. The activities, and types of content will vary. With the younger students I like to supplement the activities with stories and songs. Jack Hartmann. a forever young 71 year old children's singer with unbridled makes some of my favorite videos for the pre-school to 2nd grade set. I'm currently starting my k-2 classes on warm and cool colors with this great Jack Hartmann video.

Randy Stonehill 50 years in ministry kickstarter project is fully funded.

Last Month Ray Ware, Randy Stonehill's longtime manager and bestfriend, launched a kickstarter project to produce an album to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Born Twice, Stonehill's first album. The Album will have various artists performing Stonehill songs from the last 1/2 century. The link to the project (which is now fully funded and closed for contributions) is found here.

The album will be entitled "There's A Rainbow Somewhere" which are lyrics from his song King of Hearts. I was excited to hear about the project and it is the first kickstarter project that I have ever been a backer of. To celebrate funding I am sharing the song King of Hearts here.
