You Are Part of Everything
“Dear Prudence” is one of my favorite Beatles’ songs, and it turns out to have been a favorite of Jerry Garcia, too. Full lyrics HERE.
Sad to Say
Harry Belafonte was a favorite of my mother’s. While in college in the 50s, she sneaked off to see him perform live. She had most of his albums, and now I have them. Full lyrics HERE.
Never Never Never
Full lyrics HERE.
Once In A While

It is not he or she or them or it that you belong to…
It really reads better as a poem than as a song. Full lyrics HERE.
Billion Year Old Carbon
Full lyrics HERE. This version, just James Taylor and his guitar, is the most beautiful I’ve ever heard.
I Need You
Written by George Harrison, covered by Tom Petty. Full lyrics HERE.

Nessun Dorma
The look on his face– a combination of triumph and relief when he knows he nailed it– is priceless.
Pete’s Smile
I have the album, and always enjoyed the story and the song, but didn’t know there was a film of it.
