It's Friday! I'm getting ready to go see Andy this weekend so you won't see any new posts from me till the middle of next week. The way I've been posting lately, you probably won't notice. This week's music doesn't really count as nerd music. Some of these songs are really popular. All they have in common, besides being good music with an emotional impact, is that they've been interpreted by Stephen Torrence in ASL. This is really good stuff. Please take the time to watch at least one of these. You won't be sorry.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to embed a player. That might have something to do with people not giving Stephen the credit he deserves for his work, or it might have something to do with my own ineptitude. Here are links. Follow one? For me? Please!
The Lighthouse by Nickel Creek : This will make you cry.
I'm Your Moon by Jonathan Coultan :Nerd Song! A song about Pluto.
Party in the USA by Miley Cirus :The first Stephen Torrence I ever saw. Thanks Whall! It's just fun.
Fireflies by Owl City: One of Jasmine's favorite songs.
I Got a Feeling: Black Eyed Peas: Stephen is joined by Stephen Brackett on this one.

I watched all of them and more on his channel. He does a remarkable job of capturing the feel as well as the words of the music. I may steal the Lighthouse's Story for a future Take This Tune.
Jamie: I just love him. I'm glad you enjoyed his videos too.
I'll spend some time with your Set over the weekend. Enjoy the visit with Andy!
I now have an instant crush on this guy. Thank you SO much for posting these.
He did a JC song? GET OUT! I'm gonna go watch it RIGHT NOW.
(see how I introduced "right" into my comment? I'm a sneaky conservative... sneaky sneaky sneaky. Very sneaky, sir.)
Travis: Have a great weekend too.
Julia: He's crush worthy!
Whall: The zombie song is my favorite of his JC songs... he's done lots.
Have a fun time. These are great songs.
Just came back to say I really enjoyed the Light House video.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nickle Creek-almost anything by them. Also, Fireflies...great song. :)
Sandy: I'm glad you like them too.
Travis: That one is my favorite but it makes me cry.
Mags: I like Fireflies but since Jasmine likes it I've heard it way too many times.
