VIDEO/MP4: Take Me Out To The Ballgame (Instrumental - iPod/Zune)It's almost time for the annual fall classic - Major League Baseball's World Series.

I remember him as a great guitar player and person that cared about humanity.(August 2009). Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Since then, I have added a third verse and incorporated more of a swing feel (I may have featured a early version on this feed last year). Here I sing it with some 4-year-old Kindergarten students - this is ju ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
