over the last two weeks we've been having don bright, the singing handy man, over to help us with a few projects around our house. he came recommended from a friend, and i just assumed that "singing handy man" meant that he sang while he worked. well, he does that too, and it's delightful, but really his title comes from the fact that he performs a song for you with every visit. it's such a treat! on the first visit, by chance, he sang one of my most favorite songs, le vie en rose and i'm not ashamed to admit, i got a little misty eyed and was blown away by his big booming voice. of course i had to get him on video, and he graciously accepted.
( i always forget that you have to film the video landscape style, i remembered a couple of seconds into the performance to turn it the right way)
he was featured on local news several times back when he was a singing UPS man, so my blog is peanuts compared to that, but he was so fun that i had to do a post about him. the thursday girls were around today while he was here, so at least he had a bigger audience than just me to clap for him at the end. unfortunately for him, he's had to sing la vie en rose every time because i just love it too much to request anything else. fortunately for us, he's as talented at his house projects as he is at his singing, so we will definitely be calling him again!

Ok, so is that song in the movie Sabrina (w/harrison ford)? They play it in the scenes in Paris, right? That is so neat that he's a singing repair man. That would definitely bring cheerfulness wherever he went. Awesome.
He's a wonderful addition to our ward choir as well!

I'm not sure why but I ended up having to go to YouTube to view this. What an amazing voice! I loved it:)
This guy is great...love him
Love the singing handyman! It was so fun to listen to him while we were working! He even sang Memory from Cats with me when I told him our high school was doing that musical. And he gave ME a compliment on my voice. Ha! HA!
