Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year) Dorothy plays Gong xi Gong xi -

Rick's version

Crocodile Rock - Elton John

You can see this in 3D if you have the red/blue glasses.


I'm not sure how copyright works but Youtube picked up a part of my performance above at 16 seconds and decided it might violate copyright-- since it was so good I guess. They led me though a process where I have to submit a dispute so I did... on the grounds that's it's my own arrangement of the song....

Listening to Coast to Coast

SAVED AS A 3-D file--- use your 3-D glasses for some depth in my video next...

Well I never knew I had Martians in my garden

And, I never knew there were aliens on my roof

I got shadow people and they're living in my basement

Got a funny feeling Bigfoot's gonna be here soon

I was so blind before, I was so unaware

But, now I swear I'm seeing Sasquatch over there

I turned on my radio in the middle of the night

And, I heard things I need to know. Now, I can see the light

And, I also see a ghost

'Cause I'm listening to Coast to Coast

Well you never knew that your baby was a hybrid

But, as he grew you began to see the clues

Now you know the signs 'cause you learned it from George Noory

Even while you sleep you've got Martians watchin' you

Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be

Whichever world you're living in, whatever century

Your voice is always welcome here on my radio

Call in with your space transmitter or your telephoneWell I never knew I had Martians in my garden

And, I never knew there were aliens on my roof

I got shadow people and they're living in my basement

Got a funny feeling Bigfoot's gonna be here soon

I was so blind before, I was so unaware

But, now I swear I'm seeing Sasquatch over there

I turned on my radio in the middle of the night

And, I heard things I need to know. Now, I can see the light

And, I also see a ghost

'Cause I'm listening to Coast to Coast

Well you never knew that your baby was a hybrid

But, as he grew you began to see the clues

Now you know the signs 'cause you learned it from George Noory
