Jon Powers (drums) with Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris on the Hope for Haiti telethon Friday night. Jon is my son-in-law, Dave Powers’ brother.
Such a quiet, sweet, soulful performance of “Hallelujah,” the classic Leonard Cohen song. Tredessa says I simply cannot write the words to the song on this blog. For obvious reasons (some of which Justin left out on his version here).
There is a family debate about whether or not Elvis once sang this song. Stormie is sure of it. And after she said so, I could sort of hear him singing it in my head, too. But Tredessa says Elvis wouldn’t have touched this song with a 10-foot pole (due to risque themes)…and I guess it wasn’t even released until some years past his death. But, so, ok. Stormie and I think Elvis should sing it – if he is still alive.
Nonetheless, Hallelujah!…Jeanie

So I’m sitting at my dining room table watching the video. Clayton was in the living room playing a video game and hears the music and asks, “Is that Elvis?” No kidding…
I love that songs imagery!!! Missed the performance though.. Thanks for the video.
No way! That is hilarious! Oh man, that must mean Elvis SHOULD have sang it!
