This picture is from Puerto Rico and I want to post it with today's song instead of the usual cover.  I have several connections in my life to Puerto Rico: families of friends, former students, and yeah, even musicians whose music I've loved, like Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin Luis Fonsi, Ricky Martin, and of course, this guy.  Marc Anthony is a talented singer and songwriter, and this beautiful, uplifting song is a perfect dedication to what we hope that all Puerto Ricans will end up doing soon...living their lives.  Check out Vivir Mi Vida...  

Song of the Day - Rain Over Me - Pitbull, featuring Marc Anthony

Hmmm, notice a theme here with the last two Songs of the Day?  Ugh, we are in the middle of a six day soaker and though yesterday we were wishing for no rain, today we are wanting it to rain all over us, lol.  So stay dry or keep wet, whatever your preference, but either way have a great Saturday! Oh, and don't forget to click play...

A Birthday Song of the Day - Vivir La Vida - Marc Anthony

Today is a special day and this song was carefully chosen to mark the occasion,  You see, today is my friend Manny's birthday and I want to mark the day by posting a song that always makes me think of him.  I've only known Manny about 3-4 years, but I consider him one of my great friends.  I met him through my other friend, Ozzie, and the three of us have been a cool trio of sorts over the years since.

Manny is a sweetheart...a big Puertoriqueño with an even bigger heart.  His sense of humor and his lovable personality are traits that I treasure in my friends and so I am proud to call him one.  We've had a lot of good times together and I look forward to many more to come.  So here's to you buddy...Happy Birthday!  Keep on viviendo la vida!
