My sweetheart is usually a man of few words. He can make me laugh, though… he is a good observer and just saying the truth out loud can bring me a fit of giggles. For people who know us, though, they definitely observe that I’m the lively one and he’s more quiet.

But when you get us on stage, the roles reverse. I’m the romantic straight love-song crooner. He either wows the crowd with hot instrumentals (if your computer is set up to listen to MP3 music, listen to his own composition, recorded live at Altu’s, called Epley Breakdown) or he brings out the novelty tunes. The 1920’s was full of funny songs, often with risque’ undertones.

Brian has been enjoying my new camera in the last few months, and he has been recording short one-take videos for his http://youtube.com/heftone page. I must say I am biased toward the funny ones, I don’t much like instrumentals even when they are excellent… I am a singer, and that’s my angle on music. A while ago he did Your Baby ain’t Sweet Like Mine, which makes me smile from ear to ear. More recently he recorded what may be my family’s favorite funny one… If You can’t Land Her on the Old Veranda, You Can’t Land Her at All. Yeah, a little naughty but not explicit at all, innuendo all the way. And much fun! Also check out My Red Hot Gal.

So go visit Brian’s page and see if it helps you smile your way through the day. In this miserable weather, we need as many giggles as we can get!

The photo today is one Regina took of us at Altu’s Ethiopian Cuisine, probably over a year ago. I love this one!
