If You Want the Things You Love, You Must Have Showers

Weekly Song Sketch

Photobucket

Photos from here

Here is Pennies From Heaven, the song I chose to do from Anne's favorite happy songs. The funny thing is that I'd never heard this tune before (despite the fact that I've listened to a ton of music by every artist who's done it) so I am so grateful to Anne for broadening my happy song repertoire!

I used some perfect photos of Anne in the rain from her lovely blog, a cup full of sunshine. Be sure to go by and visit - she's marvelous (as you can see in the above collage!).

Thank you all for your wonderful response to my giveaway! I'm definitely going to do it again. And thank you, Anne, for your lovely song choice.

If you would like an mp3 emailed to you, just let me know in a comment and I'll be sure to send it out! If it's your first request, be sure to include your email in the comment.

And, it appears I'm testing the limits of the bandwidth on my upload site. So, it may take a few minutes for the song to load and you may even need to refresh the page. If it doesn't work still, just leave me a comment and I'll send it to you so you can hear it at your leisure.

P.S. Feel free to follow me! I promise only ever to lead you to bright, sunny places!
