Defying Gravity from Wicked and Glee

Hey ya’ll,

As you can probably tell from the way I sing, I’m a pretty big fan of broadway musicals. My favorites are West Side Story, Les Mis, Little Shop of Horrors, and Jesus Christ Superstar (seriously, the music ROCKS). But I caught a showing of Wicked in San Francisco this week, and I gotta say it was hands down the best musical I’ve ever seen! Here’s me singing my favorite song from the show, “Defying Gravity.”

Also, I’m trying out something new this week…I’ve got three options for next week’s video, and it’s up to you guys to vote for the winner! The choices are:

1) Tom Petty – Free Fallin’
2) Friends In Low Places – Garth Brooks
3) The Beatles – Help!

Leave a comment or hit me up on Twitter at @davidbaronmusic by Noon on Friday 1/29 to vote.

Happy Monday,
David

Hey guys,

For my 2nd video of my new Monday YouTube Series “David Baron Piano Covers“, I covered another one of my favorite songs, James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain”. I used to play this song in my first band, Borderline, and still find ways to sneak it into my solo sets at piano bars. Keep tuning in each Monday for new videos…

See you next week,
David

For my first video of the new year, I thought I’d cover one of my all time favorite songs, Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind”. This song sounds like warm cocoa on a cold day. Hope you enjoy…
