Two of my favorite songs

Good morning, Ethan. Today I thought I'd share with you two of my favorite songs. The first is sung by a very famous man named Louis Armstrong... his nickname was "Satchmo" and his trademark was that he always had a handkerchief in his hand to wipe the perspiration from his forehead while he played the trumpet and sang (you can see his handkerchief in this picture). He lived from 1901 - 1971... he had a very unique voice and ALWAYS had a BIG smile on his face.
I really love this song because it makes me think about you. It's called "What a Wonderful World."

The second song I'd like you to hear is very famous in Australia and has been popular with children for 40 years "down under" (Australia is said to be "down under" the equator... it's also called "Oz" but I don't know why?). This song is performed by a group that was popular in the mid-1960s when I was in college. The group is called The Seekers and features a female singer named Judith Durham. I think Judith has the most beautiful voice that I have ever heard. The song is called "Morningtown Ride." I hope you have enjoyed hearing these songs... I love both of them and I love you, Ethan.
