More to follow


Joe
Linlithgow

Harry Nilsson - 'Remember'

Aretha Franklin - 'Don't Play That Song For Me' (cause it brings back memories)

paolo. Correct. Cracker. DC and I should get a shared credit! But no matter as long as it gets played!

Here is an almost equal, a superb looking back track:

Mary Chapin Carpenter - Come On , Come On

also:

Iris DeMent - Childhood Memories
The Jam - saturdays Kids

Kayleigh Marillion
Fernando ABBA

And one I've only heard on our cassette player, years ago. The cassette went missing when we traded our Mini Metro in for a Nissan Sunny. Maybe someone could find a digital copy to play? ;o)
Bella Ciao The Swingle Singers

Scrap the Swingles - it's probably more of a remembrance song rather than a nostalgic one.

Norrie's suggestion from a few nights back would fit in nicely, though. Let's hear it for
Ole Blue Eyes - It Was A Very Good Year

Or a bit of Peggy Lee
Is That All There Is
Nobody said it had to be feelgood! ;o)

#7 absolutely. Between (or should that be amongst) the three of us it requests must be in treble figures

There is a Bed - Mary Coughlan ~ a magnificent cover of the Marc Almond song.


I've been waiting for a theme to match this song:

The Dance - Garth Brooks ~ aka The Anti-Hank



If the show gets a bit heavy and you need some light relief, try this!

"It sounds a little crazy, a little scattered and absurd,

But that's what you get when you play a Country song..."

The Alarm - The Spirit of '76

THURSDAY


Liberals giggled when Dubya uttered these words, but they certainly resonate with me.

A Country singer captured the essence of this profundity, and put it in a song.
