Now who has never sung this little ditty;
Sleep tight good folks. This is a great song to leave you with;
Or maybe this one? This has a special place in my file of songs.

Iron Butterfly -- In a Gadda da Vida
Ha! The all time classic acid rock. I remember when they were first played on FM radio. AM wouldn’t play it because it was too long. People went crazy over the long drum solo!

This song is much better in the original Scots…

Dexy’s Midnight Runners
I actually get chills every time I hear this little angel sing. Simply amazing;
KT, I’ll say it again; her high register is floatingly light and beautiful.
Report comment
Oh yeah, amazingly so. Like I said, she gives me chills. When you hear her talk though, she sounds like any other squeaky voiced 10 year old girl. But when she starts singing,, WOW!
Report comment
Wow, that is remarkable.

She was once asked what she felt when she sang. She said she would feel a strong power come over her, which made her very, very happy. I would guess divine inspiration. She is that good.

Thanks for reminding us of Jackie and for mentioning this. So beautiful.

I think I’ll just take the opportunity to play some of my favorites,

Elton John, “Madman Across The Water”
Great pick zenith!

The Turtles--Happy Together;
KT, great pick. That song is almost impossible NOT to sing to.
Report comment
For real. It is so catchy.
Report comment
Alice Cooper was the first concert I went to(I think it was 1974) and the leaders of the Turtles, touring as “Flo And Eddie” opened, so they were the first big rock band I saw.
Report comment
That’s cool. Did “Alice,” do his straight jacket bit? Where he would sing, “The Ballad of Dwight Frye?” Great bit to see live.

A little change in genre here…
Chopin’s Aeolian Harp Etude
I studied this piece in college. It never fails to bring me to my knees and tears to my eyes! For those of you who are not classical fans, it’s short! And the young lady playing is superb!
Report comment
Beautiful Em. And she is really good. The passion in her face as she plays is remarkable.
Report comment
KT, total mastery of the keyboard! She makes it look so easy when it is actually very, very difficult! I slaved over this piece when I was in college after 15+ years of piano.

My favorite Van Morrison song, without a doubt;
