My name is Joy Brooker. I am a singer, songwriter, pianist, comedian, food connoisseur, unofficially. And I am thrilled to be here today. I'm going to be playing some songs for you guys to enjoy. So sit back and relax and let the tunes to the talking.
[MUSIC - ELTON JOHN, "TINY DANCER"]
(SINGING) Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band. Pretty eyed, pirate smile, marry the music man. Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing did the sand. Now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand.
Jesus freaks out in the street, handing tickets out for God. Turning back, she just laughs. The boulevard is not that bad. Piano man, he takes his stand in the auditorium. Looking on, she sings the songs, the words she knows, the tune she hums whoa-oh.
Oh, how it feels so real, lying here with no one near. Only you, and you can hear me oh when I say softly, slowly, hold me closer, tiny dancer. Count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen. You had a busy day today.
Hold me closer, tiny dancer. Oh, oh, count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen. You had a busy day today.

But, oh, how it feels so real, lying here, no one near. Only you and you can hear me. Oh, and I say softly, slowly, hold me closer, tiny dancer. Count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen. You had a busy day today.

All right. So I got one more for you. Actually, this is what I wrote myself. It's an original. And it's kind of a silly concept. I really like Star Wars, as I'm sure most of us do. And my first crush was Mark Hamill, believe it or not. He plays Luke Sky-walker.
And I actually met the love of my life, and we've been partners for a couple of years now. And so when I fell for them, I felt like I did-- getting your first celebrity crush. And so I wanted to make a cute love song about that with the play on words about Star Wars. So here it is. And it's hyphenated, of course, copyright. But it's called Sky-walker.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) I'm not trying to be dramatic. I'm not trying to gain control. See, love can make me [INAUDIBLE] There's just so much I don't know. Boy, you give me crazy feelings, like I live in outer space.
When anybody asks about you, I'm like, he got me soaring up high, paragliding in your big blues. Boy, you know how to put me in the best mood. On cloud nine so they call me Skywalker. I'm a Skywalker.
(VOCALIZING)
Got me reaching for the tissues, making me crazy cause I can't seem to quit you. Got me crying like to say, I'm a your father. I'm a Skywalker. The kissy-kissy every night and walking on the ceiling. No one ever expected this, but I'm thankful I had it.
Neither one of us expected. Our feet were planted on the ground. But the moment you and I connected, I was like, I'm never coming down. Soaring up high, paragliding in your big blues. Boy, you know how to put me in the best mood. On cloud nine so they call me Skywalker. I'm a Skywalker.
(VOCALIZING)
Got me reaching for the tissues, making me crazy cause I can't seem to quit you. Got me crying like you said, I'm your father. I'm a Skywalker. Lalalala lalalala, oh, I, oh, I'm a Skywalker. Lalalala, lalalala, whoo-ooh a Skywalker.
(VOCALIZING)
A Skywalker, soaring up high, paragliding in your big blues. Boy, you know how to put me in the best mood. On cloud nine so they call me Skywalker. Oh, I'm a Skywalker.
