Gas Prices and Songs

As the price of gas goes higher and higher, I am trying to focus on other things in life. I hope this blurb will help you all, too. Besides things like air and food (necessities of life) there are other things that I must have to exist. My family is cherished, and Jesus is in my heart. Those are he most important to me, but there are other things I cherish, too. Music is one of them.
Music is something that is always in my head. Whether it is a song of a bird, my three year-old pitter-pattering across the floor and making a beat, or a song on the radio, I have always enjoyed the gift of music. That is why I write personalized songs. I can take any song and customize the song for any occasion. No matter what genre of music, I can rewrite it to make it special for someone's life. To make people smile with my songs makes me smile. That is why I do Song Squeeze. My favorite part of Song Squeeze, however, is writing original lyrics AND the music itself. I love when an idea comes into my head, and God allows me the talent to make it come together in the form of a song. I don't care if it is a ballad, a country song, or a punk rock song. As long as it is a good song, it makes me happy. Music is cool.

Hugs, Squeezes, and Kisses

Ever wonder where the name SongSqueeze came from? Ever wonder what it really means? Well, we're hoping it becomes a household name, a regular saying, if you will, to mean "giving someone a squeeze (you know, those little hugs that grandma's give out) through a gift of song". Song Squeeze has loads of possibilities out there for just about any occasion and circumstance you can imagine. Don't know what to get great Aunt Wilma who's turning 90 this year? A SongSqueeze, of course! Let our team of professionals work with you to create a great and beautiful summary of her life, sprinkled with some humor and fond memories, and topped off with a wonderful way to wish her the happiest birthday ever. That's another great way to do a 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, and 80th birthday as well! But don't let me stop you. All the other birthdays in between are just as fun and important. In fact, I have a brother that doesn't always celebrates birthday's in terms of how many years old you are. One time he had a surprise party for his wife for when she turned something like 15000 days old. Just so you don't have to do the math, it's roughly 41-I'm thinking he really felt the heat when he forgot to celebrate her 40th. And YOU could feel the heat, too, without that perrrrfect personalized rendition of Happy Birthday. I tell you, I KNOW you wouldn't even think of doing this for yourself! You wouldn't really care that people think you're the greatest husband or wife or child or grandchild who ever walked the face of the earth. You really wouldn't care that the whole room stops to hear and listen to this perfectly made custom song as you play it; and all the while everyone in attendance smiles and laughs, and feels that warm fuzzy feeling inside, and at the end of it all, the recipient is beat red but loving every single second of feeling so loved. You wouldn't care about that at all. No, no, no! The only thing that is on your mind is the recipient and that she or he receives the best gift ever. It's all about them. I know. I KNOW! But just so you know, those things do happen. You are considered the most thoughtful at the party, and the best gift giver, and the best everything. After all, you put SO MUCH thought and effort into this gift (NOT! we do that) But, hey, it's all about them anyway. So, go ahead! Get going on giving that SongSqueeze. You'll be glad you did.
