Here's a funny joke. There are many versions of this joke but here is one.
A Catholic Priest, Methodist Preacher, and a Jewish Rabbi were sitting around discussing how they divide the take from each Sabbath.
The Priest said, "What I do is draw a line down the center of the room and then throw the money up in the air. Whatever lands on the left is God's, whatever lands on the right is mine."
The Preacher said, "Well I do almost the same thing only I draw a circle in the middle of the room. Whatever lands in the circle is mine and the rest belongs to God."
The Rabbi says, "No, you both are doing it wrong. I take the money and throw it up in the air. Then I yell, God, Take what you want!. Whatever comes back down is mine......."
I heard this joke originally from the movie Short Circuit, where a robot comes alive and gains sentience and conscience.
And now, that basically is happening in real time.
Thanks to Jim Steinman for the beautiful song, thanks to Meat Loaf for his amazing rendition, and thanks to Steve Guttenberg for delivering that funny joke in the movie.

Filmed recently at a nearby studio outside of Phoenix Arizona. If you listen, the birds were recorded, but also some other sounds. It's a great studio! Lots of sounds and a great acoustic chamber!
This is my first try at playing this song, start to finish, while playing the piano. I also don't really play the piano.
Thank you to Jim Steinman for the songwriting.

This one was ad-libbed on first take. I sat on this one for a while. I apologize for the laundry drying in the background :) Thanks for watching.
What if we could relive our lives through our children and correct all of our own mistakes? We sort of, can. And that is what this song is about. Maybe we need to learn to be children again and to live each day in wonder and in awe.
