You've Got a Friend in Me (Randy Newman cover)

You've Got a Friend in Me by Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgren

Since we're all getting through this wacky time of isolation "together" via the internet, we thought we'd remind our Sunday Morning community that you have a couple of friends (albeit sometimes weird and silly friends) in us. Join us for livestreams every Wednesday morning at 10am central time from now until whenever this craziness subsides.

About Reina del Cid:
Reina del Cid is a singer songwriter and leader of the eponymous folk rock band based in Minnesota. Her song-a-week video series, Sunday Mornings with Reina del Cid, has amassed a devoted and diverse following made up of everyone from jamheads to college students to white-haired intelligentsia. In 2011 she began collaborating with Toni Lindgren, who is the lead guitarist on all three of Del Cid’s albums, as well as a frequent and much beloved guest on the Sunday Morning videos. The Sunday Morning videos also feature a rotating cast of bandmates, special guests, and occasional random bystanders.

Anyone who has tried to play that song on the guitar (or almost any of Randy Newman’s songs) knows it’s got tricky and fast chord changes including those diminished chords. Spectacularly well played (and sung)!

Shared it in our Global Lions Forum, just to make people smile. It

I used to sing this to my sons while rocking them to sleep. Brings back great memories.

In addition to her obvious guitar talents, Toni is a great backup singer. She nails everything, on every level.

This is, by far, one of your best Sunday Morning performances. I think it’s because the sentiment behind the lyrics comes from a genuine place in both of your souls, and for each other. Thanks so much for posting.

That guitar is spectacular! Much respect……and the vocals are killer too.

Love Toni's guitar playing, she's an inspiration to motivate me to play better!

I could listen to Toni play the whole day long.

Toni is real bad ass at guitar.. hats off!

Thank you guys, glad you are staying safe... From an ex 'emergency planner' in Wales, UK.
Shared this as it's exactly the kind of thing needed!

I don’t think anyone who follows this channel, is concerned about Reina reading a dictionary... Love this cover! Ahhhh! More live streams! Love you guys, stay sane.

Blown away by the arrangement and guitar work

Greetings from Italy. It's a dramatic moment for my country, we're locked at home, many people are fighting for life in the hospitals. Your beautiful music helps us to face this difficult period. Thanks!

[philvigou]

A ray of sunshine in our confined life.
Thank you from France

[Musician-Lee]

Beautiful. And Toni’s accompaniment on that Zirelli guitar is just perfect

[lottrocky]

I really wonder if Toni realizes what a badass she is. So clean and effortless.

[johncfalk]

Long couple of weeks. This brought me to tears. Keep making wonderful music please.
