A while back, I wrote a song dedicated to teachers. My wife, Danelle, is an early-child educator – I call her “The Toddler Whisperer” because she has the special talent of being able to communicate at the most direct level with kids between the ages of 2 and 4. The song is called SUPERHERO. I recently recorded it, sang the lead vocal and played all the parts, except for bringing in the fabulously talented Alison Lewis to help me sing the background chorus.
One upside of the pandemic stay-at-home orders has been that I’ve used the time to become better at using my Adobe video editing apps, so I also made a video for the song. This blog is to announce the premiere of the song and video on YouTube.
Included in the video are some photos of the amazing teachers who work for The Portable Classroom, the company that Dani and her partner Christa Wagner started over 12 years ago.
Here is where you can watch the song video.

Feel free to comment on it, and please share it wherever you’d like.

SHOW #43 of SAFE @HOME with GARY STOCKDALE THIS TUESDAY at 5:30pm (PT)
Hard to believe that this Tuesday I will have done this show for 43 weeks! I’m so grateful for all the people who come to see the show every week. It’s as if we’re all hanging around the piano in our living room, while at the same time, some of you are in New York, Texas, and Ireland.
After the past few (insane) weeks, I want to lighten things up a bit, so next week’s theme is:
The Great Singers, Part 1- The Guys
I will be singing songs made famous by some of the best voices of all time. This week, it’ll be songs by male singers. The next installment of this theme, in a few weeks, will be the ladies. Please send any requests for classic songs by classic singers to garystockdale@gmail.com, or post to that same Facebook page where you go to see the show – which is right here:

Be kind to each other out there, wear your mask, and I hope we all get vaccinated soon.
