THERE’S A MUSICAL ARTIST THAT I’VE JUST BEEN INTRODUCED TO, HIS NAME, ALAN STOREYGARD, AMAZING SIMPLY AMAZED AT HIS ABILITY TO WRITE A SONG THAT IS SO PROPER AND FITTING FOR TODAY’S TIMES. THE SONG I’M REFERRING TO IS CALLED “I PLAN TO BE HAPPY AGAIN. THE SONG TITLE IN ITSELF IS A TRUE PERSONAL DESIRE AND MAKES TOTAL SENSE OF WHAT WE ALL FACE AS PEOPLE OF THIS EARTH. AFTER READING ALAN’S STORY OF HIS LIFE AND ALSO BEING A PHYSICIAN WHO IS ACTUALLY ON THE FRONT LINE OF THIS CURRENT PANDEMIC THAT WE FACE AS A WORLD. I READ ABOUT HIS OWN PERSONAL SITUATIONS AND HOW HE SEEMED TO RISE ABOVE THE OBSTACLES IN HIS PATH. ALONG WITH A SINGER, PIANIST, MULTI INSTRUMENTALIST BILLY HOOVER, WHO ADDS HIS VOCALS TO THE SONG IN AN AMAZING WAY AND ADDS TO THE MIRACULOUS MIX AND AMAZING WRITING OF ALAN STOREYGARD AND HIS SONG “I PLAN TO BE HAPPY AGAIN” THE SONG IS A COOL BALLAD THAT HAS A SOUND OF DR. JOHN AND WITH THE INSPIRATIONAL WORDS OF ALAN STOREYGARD AND THE EQUALLY INSPIRATIONAL VOCALS AND PIANO PLAYING OF BILLY HOOVER. THE SONG ARRIVES JUST IN TIME FOR WHAT WE FACE IN OUR CURRENT SITUATION WITH THE COVID 19 VIRUS AFFECTING US ALL. THE SONG HAS A BLUESY PULSE AND CARRIES A RHYTHM THAT CRIES FOR YOU TO PLAN TO BE HAPPY AGAIN. IN MY OPINION THIS IS EXCUSE THE PUN “JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED” THE DOCTOR IS IN AND HIS AMAZING MANNERS SERVING UP A SUPERB DOSE OF RHYTHM & BLUES THAT WILL BRING ETERNAL OPTIMISM FOR YOUR LIFE AND BREATHES A BREATH OF FRESH AIR INTO OUR WORLD THAT SEEMS DOOMED AT TIMES, AND ALLOWS YOU REALIZE THAT WE ALL WILL FACE WHAT COMES AROUND THE CORNER OF OUR LIFE’S JOURNEY, WHERE WE ALL “PLAN TO BE HAPPY AGAIN” MANY THANK YOU’S TO ALAN STOREYGARD AND BILLY HOOVER FOR SUCH AN AWESOME SONG AND I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE OF THIS STYLE OF MUSIC THAT ADDS A PULSE AND A DOSE OF POSITIVENESS TO OUR EVERYDAY LIVES. I FOR SURE WISH TO HEAR MORE OF ALAN & BILLY COLLABORATIONS. I THANK THEM FOR PROVIDING OPTIMISM IN A NEGATIVE INFESTED WORLD IN WHICH WE ALL RESIDE. TIL NEXT TIME KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE AND WELL IN YOUR WORLD AND BRINGING YOUR POSITIVE SPIN INTO OURS.
