Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly’s 1983 song, which they recorded that year on their album. Heart did it in 1987, and I’m doing it in 2026. Heart? Did they mean to name their band “Harp”?

Bert’s best friend Ernie sang this song on Sesame Street in 1978. It was written by Jeff Moss. I kind of feel the same way as Ernie, but what a great vacation that would be! My harp would be much lighter to schlep around, and the view would be fantastic!

In 1961 Barry Mann and Gerry Goffin asked the question we all wanted the answer to - who actually did put the bomp in the bomb bah bomp bah bomp? And it is still relevant today. All the more-so when you add harp!

Richard Berry wrote “Louie Louie” in 1955, and his band RIchard Berry and the Pharaohs released the first recording of the song in 1957. Berry based it on the latin "El Loco Cha Cha" by Rene Touzet, but also wanted a calypso rhythm to his song. So the Calypso Dans got together to see what a calypso version would sound like.

All things shall perish from under the sky. Music alone shall live, Music alone shall live, Music alone shall live, Never to die.

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller’s 1962 became an instant anthem for the power of womanhood and a hit for Peggy Lee. But I’m not a woman… so my version states the obvious.

Howard Johnson and Theodore Morse wrote this ode to Mother in 1915. Kind of an old chestnut, but perfect for Mother’s Day.

Phil Harris (he was Jack Benny’s band leader, was an accomplished and well known and well loved band leader and had his own comedy radio show with his movie star wife Alice Faye, and appeared on television and in movies) released this novelty song by Charles Randolph Grean in 1950. The melody comes from a bawdy English song that was based on an earlier English folk song called “The Lincolnshire Poacher”

Brian Wilson adapted Chuck Berry’s song in 1963, and “Surfin’ U.S.A.” was a hit for the Beach Boys. I originally had electric guitar in the mix, but it actually muddied up the sound track and I didn’t need it. So with only harp (balanced on a surf board) and bass, here’s my cover.

Ross Bagdasarian ’s (aka David Seville) 1958 #1 hit that inspired his later creation of Alvin and the Chipmunks. He sped up his voice using a tape recorder, and that led to the Chipmunks and other Billboard hits.

Dana Lyons 1996 song has a lot of meat on it. It’s funny, but also raises issues like inhumane practices in slaughterhouses. My much abbreviated version is more funny than socially conscious, but redeemed by having harp in it.

Rick Dees wrote “Disco Duck” in 1976, and recorded it with his band “Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots”. It made #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for one week. My concern was could I play harp wearing a duck head? I was pretty sure I could play bass without having to see it, but harp? Surprise!
