I really love Beth Nielsen Chapman's music. Yesterday, while messing around on SingSnap, I discovered a couple of her songs were listed that I knew and can sing somewhat decently. Both were songs she had apparently written in tribute to her late husband, who died in 1994 of cancer. Beth Nielsen Chapman is herself a cancer survivor. I find her melodies beautiful and her lyrics very moving. I can tell that she and her husband shared a special love for each other.
She has also written a number of songs for popular singers like Trisha Yearwood, Willie Nelson, Alabama, and a shitload of others I can't think of right now. I think some of the singers who perform her faster songs are better singers than she is, though when she sings the songs that are dedicated to her husband, I think there's no better singer. I really respect her. She's a fellow Air Force brat, too.
The first song is "I Find Your Love"...
I couldn't find her version of "Touch My Heart" on YouTube. I covered it myself, though. It's after my version of "I Find Your Love".
Despite my ribald sense of humor, I seem to have a knack for jazz and pretty ballads. I played this for Bill last night and he cried. I can always tell when his emotions are tweaked. He's very Irish.
All this recording is sharpening my skills on the computer, too. I do need to take another vacation so I can add new photos. Or maybe I should just get brave and use some pictures of Bill and me. Of course, when you do that, you invite the meanies to comment.
