My folk duo published this song.
It was inspired by a real-life experience.
I was introduced to a new coffee drink I never heard about until I moved to the USA.
It was called the Cappuccino.
I wrote the lyrics and hubby arranged the music and tweaked the lyrics to suit.
He put the African talking drum in there as well, to mimic the sounds of cappucinno-making.
I used video and photos from the time we were in Las Vegas.
Enjoy this song for free from Sonny Boy and me!
There are over a hundred daily videos that my eclectic folk duo, Molly and Sonny Boy, made 2 years ago, shortly before the Covid pandemic.
We posted them nightly on YouTube.
We called it our Daily Verse and Chorus Project.

I still view them now and then to catch a glimpse of our sweet dogs Cole and Pixie who sometimes appear in them.
I still feel so much sadness over their deaths.
Happily, they both each lived to be about 17! Pixie, the Pomeranian lived to be 16 years and 8 months and Cole the Poodle, lived to be 17 years and one month.
I wish they were still alive. Their lives were too short in my books, even though in dog years, they would each be over 100!
In 2013, we fulfilled a lifelong dream of my husband’s, to perform at Cafe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Now that hubby is retired, we continue to practice daily, dreaming of stardom, or at least steady gigs!
The most used app on my phone is the Voice app, so we can record inventive guitar riffs and pin down lyrics for new songs.
We like to write songs, and we have an album out already of all original songs you can check out on Apple music.

The peacock has a unique call.
As a child growing up in the inner city there was a zoo nearby at Riverdale Park in Toronto, Canada.
Today they have a working farm there.
Peacock feathers were such treasures when we were kids.
Occasionally we would find one on the ground and bring it home.
It was always fun to see and hear the peacocks.
We still play Pokemon Go.
At night my husband and I go for walks together.
We talk and we play Pokemon Go on our smartphones.
I can’t tell you how happy I am living in a residential neighborhood.
After growing up in the inner city, living in an apartment building, I love the contrast of just walking out the front door and up the tree-lined street.
It’s an old-fashioned dream come true.
I planted yellow squash, beets, cherry tomatoes and flowers in raised garden beds to keep the weeds down.
Hubby uses straw-bales as mulch as well, to keep weeds down to a minimum.
This year he is using plastic bottles to create mini-greehouses to keep the rabbits out!
Right now green onions are on the table everyday in most every dish I cook.
Springtime is full of happy hours spent outside, even if it means repairing the outdoor spigot with plumbing thread tape and new washers.
Plants need fresh water too!
Somedays you crave a tasty treat.
I thought I might just do something fun with buttermilk biscuits.
I topped them with fresh ripe strawberries and banana, then added Coconut whipped cream from a can.
Tasty, and great at breakfast with French roast coffee! 😋
Something about a Spring day stirs my imagination.
Living. Breathing. Stirring.
Life in all its glory.
Energy. Beauty. Fresh air.
It speaks to the soul.
I love Springtime in May in Minnesota.
It was a long-time coming, but it looks like Spring has finally sprung!
To celebrate the joys of warmer weather, I brought home a stunningly beautiful Hydrangea plant.
They say being here in Minnesota is like living 6 months in Eden, and 6 months on Mars!
Well then, hypothetically-speaking, it looks like being here in May through October will be better than Winter!
Flowers give me such joy. I just love them so much!
The colors, the scents, the freshness and the beauty are as romantic today as it was when I was in New York City decades ago.
I saw an eager gentleman give his lady love two dozen beautiful red roses at Grand Central Station.
It was a sight to behold! It seemed straight out of the pages of a Harlequin romance!
Flowers not only say, “I love you,” they say, “I love me too!”
Buy yourself or your sweetie a flower or a bunch and make your world a happier place today!
There are many truisms all over the Internet. You can read them on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and lots of places online.
I love motivational and inspirational quotes.
This one really struck me when I was feeling blue and lonely.
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else!
Giving is living, and that’s the reality for all people!
