What a CRAZY year, I want a Do-Over, lol!

While I hated to diverge from my Finger Snapping Series, if ever I HAD to do a 4th Of July Show, this is the year!

It is needed and I needed to do it.

I was raised in a household where Love Of Country was very important- it is in my DNA.

No…

This Series will be like the one I did on Whistling years ago, in both cases the Musical Instrument is your Body!

Finger Snapping is usually done with the Thumb and Middle Finger, the only ones that work for me.

I'll start as I usually do with some of the Older Songs, and what was called…

This is it, the final episode of my musical take on Rebels.
