[laughs] [applause] It was such an honor to sing that for you today.

[applause] [laughs] Yeah.

[applause] Thank you.

[applause] So, this was so special for me to perform this for you because this was a song written by my beloved Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and what's so special about tonight is that there was an additional bridge that has never been sung live for television, so you guys were the first to hear it tonight.

[applause and cheering] But now, now we have a very, very special artist, an amazing guest coming to you right now.

She is my girl.

12-year-old Sunny Ritter was the winner of the Junior Division of Classicalia, and as you are about to hear, she is an amazing pianist.

Please welcome a Vienna native, my little sister, Sunny!

It's a song by Narciso Figueroa with a poem written by Luis Llorens Torres and orchestrated for me by maestro Steven Mercurio.

It--The poem describes a man who daydreams about his little wood house in the middle of a coffee plantation, his "rancho," as he calls it.

And he remarks on how pleasant rainy days are as long as he is with his beloved and covered in her warmth.

This is "Mi Rancho."
