To sir, with love

Return of the summer music series - stuck in the car with Leesha Summer has returned, and with it comes those long road trips accompanied by "are we there yet?" and "do we have to listen to this song?"  Or in my case, scream-singing lyrics (with lots of solos), discussing the meaning of songs, and …

Summer Music Series – V

Summer Music Series (Episode V) I sing in the car, I can't help it.  I mean, I can help it..it is possible - if it's a really short trip or if we're still in that part of our relationship where I'm nervous of what you'll think of my singing.  But otherwise, I'm singing along (loudly) …
