I've got nothing witty to respond to that with. Just sorry for your loss.

Thanks, rssllue. It was a long time ago. On to happier things.

One song I never get tired of is Transfusion by Nervous Norvus. Slip me the juice, Bruce.

You are welcome.

There is an instrumental version of O Come O Come Emmanuel that I can listen to year round by August Burns Red. It really is done in a rock style that I enjoy.

Ive done that with the Isley Brothers Shout! and with some old 50's rock and roll. Larry Williams, Little Richard, Sonny Burgess, Gene Vincent etc.

When down, you should try When the House is A Rockin' by Stevie Ray Vaughn. Then you can "kick off your shoes and start losin' the blues!" :D

Classic stuff. Another one to turn up the volume on and scare the hell out of your neighbors is Enesco's Romanian Rhapsody.

I like to hear songs over sometimes, but more often, I sing them to myself over and over again. ;o)

Playing Orion by Metallica in my head over and over was the only way I got through a class in high school. It was SO over all of our heads that our valedictorian got the highest grade in the class and it was a high F before the curve. Crazy! But at least I knew I could get through it each day because of that song. It took almost exactly 5 times for it to play in my head and then the class would be mercifully over. Ah, the memories.

One group I never get tired of is Bill Haley and the Comets. Original rock+roll.

I can't stop playing the same 5 K-pop songs over and over again. It's not even getting on my nerves at all. I just want to dance more and more!

One I used to listen to a lot was My Friend Elizabeth from 1930 by Debroy Somers Band.

A bouncy little old time tune, a real toe tapper. Lyrics about a woman who dosent like the long dresses in 1930, she liked the short skirts in the 1920's so she could show off her legs.

I am listening to the song right now played by Ray Martin and His Concert Orchestra instead of the Debroy Somers Band and I have to say it IS quite the bouncy song as you said!
