I was looking for some actual footage of Blood, Sweat and Tears performing You've Made Me So Very Happy because a very dear friend who left this world 2 years ago today enjoyed it so much. I found other songs but not that one. Then I found this guy singing the medley and I knew that my friend, with his love of silliness, would have LOVED seeing a chinese guy with a bad combover and a shiny psychedelic jacket do this song.
His time here was too damned short but I'm counting that it was long enough for us to intersect and for me to have warm and wonderful memories. I'm counting his crazy sense of humor which he never lost. I'm counting his generous and gentle spirit.
I miss you but...I'm so glad you came into my life.
Since we've had a couple of snow days this week, here's another one of his favorites.

LOL! A delightful count all around, Lime. (If we kept our asses in the afterlife) he would be laughing it off right now! You remembering him this way is a wonderful celebration of his life.
BTW... I love the "yeah, this a paying gig" look on the faces of the musicians for Mr. Vegas. lol!
Great songs!! And, a lovely da count.
I can't see the videos (i'm at work), but I wanted to wish you a happy friday, and like snav said, a lovely da count. :)
They where great - one of my favorites. I so much remember the movie: The Owl and the Pussycat:-)
Lisa Loeb! Mr. Sign worked at a radio station and Lisa came in to do a promo and sang to him on the air. He's still swooning.
What an awesome tribute, Lime.
Lol... that's coolness personified!
That's a wonderful tribute to your friend. Smiling, happy memories are the best.
I love this song!
Lime, this is a GREAT post. I know he's smiling down and snickering at this. I'm also sure he misses you as much as you miss him. It's amazing how close we can get to our internet friends, isn't it. I miss you and hope you are doing well. Holla!

Lime, you're very sweet. I'll bet your friend was very glad you were a part of his life as well.

A very nice post for a friend- It's funny how songs remind of us of those who have crossed over. I wonder if they feel our love? I hope so :)
