Day 03- The five songs you would have with you on a desert island and why
1. Elvis: “Blue Moon”…love this song…or “Can’t help falling in love with you”…
play the Elvis 50 Greatest Hits when in the hospital having a long scan done…
2. Jimmy Buffett: Pina Colada” song
3. Kingston Trio “Scotch and Soda”…an all time favorite from high school…
I don’t drink anymore, but just love the sad and lonely sound to it
4. Johnny Mathis: “Chances Are”…just love the song
5. Trini Lopez…La Bamba…would get me up and moving around…
can’t be sad and blue and sit still with that playing.
Five is really not enough, there are so many songs that get my feet a tapping…
but these are the first five that came to mind.
There wasn’t room for “Big Bad LeRoy Brown” or any Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash;
Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, the music of Woodstock….my list is endless it seems.
You might tell my roots are in the 50’s and 60’s, but my likes aren’t just back in the day.
I like Steel drum music, relaxation music.. Meditative music from Taize services in France.
Inspirational music from the Epsicopal Cursillo/Ultreas,
“Faery Rings” especially side two…by Mike Rowland .
I like the music of New Orleans, zazz, rhythm and blues, Country Western, big bands,
Irish Drinking songs, Celtic music, pick a decade, I seem to be able to find music
to enjoy.
