Dont Bring Lulu - Benny Kreuger

Also the Ray Charles version of Busted and The Bells of St. Marys by Paul Whiteman, best version of a great song.

[Laura1315]

1) Closer to the Edge - 30 Seconds to Mars
2) Stay - Hurts
3) It's You - Super Junior

Those songs just touch me and those would have to be my three favorite songs!

very cute, a real oldie!

listening to Norah Jones " come away w/me ", " summertime "
Edith Piaf " Je ne Regrette Rien " and
Aaron Copland's " Fanfare for the Common Man "

I got a kick out of it. Those old Roaring 20's songs really roared. It was happy music to put one in a good mood.

I havent listened to much today, a few ordanary songs but one I liked was one that my parents had on a record when I was a kid. Where The Wild, Wild, Flowers Grow by Roger Wolfe Kahn. Another one was Shame on You by Spade Cooley. And as I like concert band music I heard Marching Through Georgia by a group with the unbelievable name of The Indestructible Military Band. They do a kick-ass version of it, with the reveille bugle call to get you going for the day. After hearing that, Im ready to join Sherman's march to the sea.

I agree with the 20's and 30's Big, of course the war years had some awesome hits too. There's a radio station here that plays 20's jazz some afternoons...definitely brightens up the day

[Bighuey]

Thats for sure. There were some great bands during the war, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw the good old good ones.

[suzy1124]

just my opinion, but there has never been better music to dance to than in the " Big Band Era " ( for both slow and fast )

[Bighuey]

True. They had good music for dancing in those days. I cant dance, except slow stuff where I shuffle my feet around. Years ago I could do the twist if I was loaded. Really loaded.

My top songs for the day is an album I found online by Rex Allen. Son Dont Go Near The Indians, My Cross-eyed Gal, and his best, Streets of Laredo. He sings it in two octaves, not many can do that.

[suzy1124]

We used to go to the " PEPPERMINT LOUNGE " in nyc., where The Twist /Chubby Checker was the rage...it was a step that anyone can do even if you weren't a great dancer...

[Bighuey]

First time I tried the twist was a bar in Wenatchee, Washington. They had contests for it. I never won any, Im not that limber. They had limbo contests also. Some of those guys went under that bar like a snake.

I havent listened to much of anything today. I had some music going while I was taking the green things off a bucket of strawberries I bought last night from some guy selling them door-to-door, but I wasnt paying much attention listening to it. One I do recall was Horsie Keep Your Tail Up by The Light Crust Doughboys, a western swing group but I dont remember anything else worth mentioning.

[suzy1124]

wow, forgot all about those Limbo contests...

listening to CW now....

Brad Paisley.........." She's Everything "

Shania Twain...." Man! I Feel like a Woman "

Garth Brooks, " That Summer "

[Bighuey]

Just heard Faded Love by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, beautiful song.

White Heat, also by Bob Wills, a hot jazz number.

Are you Lonesome Tonight by Oscar Grogan. Interesting, as this is a 1926 recording. Oscar is definetly not Elvis. What surprised me is that song first came out in the teens on an Edison cylinder recording.

[suzy1124]

Tina Turner............Private Dancer..
Carly Simon............You're so vain..
Enya...........Orinoco Flow...
