"Echo Valley 2-6809" by The Partridge Family

I wanted to sing this song at karaoke tonight, but apparently there isn't a karaoke version, so I did "I Think I Love You" again.

"It's No Sin" by Eddy Howard

I was thinking this morning it would be fun to sing a Eddy Howard song for karaoke, but I didn't find any karaoke for Eddy Howard on YouTube.

I decided it would be easiest if I made a list of all the Eddy Howard songs I have previously posted.  I noticed I posted these songs just a couple of weeks before I came out.  I've been Rachel for long enough now that it's weird to think about... a time before.

"Wildflower" by Skylark

These flowers just looked so pretty - they always cheer me up!

So I've had this one line of a song playing in my head for 3 or 4 days now: "'Cause she's a lady".  Definitely not the Tom Jones "She's a Lady" song, more of a ballad.  I sang the line for SueZQ and she came up with even more lyrics but neither of us could even identify the band.

Google to the rescue!  As soon as I saw the word "Wildflower" pop up it all came flooding back to me.  I'm amazed by how many karaoke versions of this song there are.

"Five to One" by Talia Keys and the Femmes feat. Rachel Edwards

Genevra, Aaron, me and TenAce

Marz, Shell, Sara, me, Joni and Genevra

With June and Hillary

I got on stage last night at my fundraiser with Talia Keys and the Femme (Lindsay, Sofia, Hillary and Kat).  It was so powerful feeling!!  I forgot the 3rd verse and kinda fucked that up, but it was still so fun!!  I can't wait to do it again sometime.

This is the only video I have found so far and it apparently requires you to log into Facebook before you can view it:

Some of my incredible friends at the Rock-n-Roll Camp for Womyn

I have truly been at a loss for words at the very concept of this benefit show that my incredible friends have put together.  This song doesn't fit perfectly, as it is more like I had no idea love like this even existed.  I'm crying just thinking about it!

Lindsay's video above made me cry.  I've never thought of myself as a hero, I just wanted to try to help people.

"Killer Queen" by Queen

This creepy thing turned itself on this morning and started scanning the discs.

I'm standing in front of my closet this morning and suddenly heard noises from the other side of the room.  It scared me and when I looked this old DVD player had turned itself on and was scanning through the discs.  Very creepy!

SueZQ and I went and saw the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie tonight and it was AWESOME!!  We loved it!!!

"Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who

I've been reading this book "America: The Farewell Tour", very scary and depressing!  I fear he is correct about what is happening and we are FUCKED!!!  He says this is all going to come crashing down and because America is a violent society overflowing with guns, it is going to be ugly!!

He quotes this song in the book "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

"Five to One (Election Day Version)" by Rachel Edwards

I made this video a couple of months ago and used some photos from protests we did here in Utah.  Mostly photos from the Women's March at the Utah State Capital.  Many of the photos are not that interesting, I decided I needed to completely rework it.

But I woke up this morning thinking about this being such an important election and I wanted to express my feelings.  So I switched up the ending, both the vocal and the video.

"Hard to Explain" by Rachel Edwards

Being transgender is not hard to explain!  What IS hard to explain is how "good" Christians, or any "good" person for that matter, can support an evil con-man as Donald Trump.
