I also love Simon and Garfunkel as well as Buddy Holly. My parents grew up in the 50s, so that’s what we listened to as kids. We also listened to Jim Croce and I still love his music. Oh...and Don McLean. I realize I didn’t list any songs, but I love everything these guys performed. John Denver, too....I could go on and on.....

Just about anything by C.W. McCall.

"Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphey.

"Play Me" by Neil Diamond.

[Jim Noble]

“We’re calling all fans,
All you Giants ball fans,
Come watch the home team,
Going places round those bases
Cheer for your favorites
Out at Coogan’s Bluff,
Come watch our Polo Grounders
Do their stuff!!!”

[Capt. Tom]

Seems I heard this everyday at noon during WWII when I was a kid, in another America.
Kate Smith singing "God bless America.

O Tannenbaum - the German orginal - is a tribute to the Tanne - the immortal fir tree beloved by German poets, singers and composers down through the centuries:

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Mut und Kraft zu jeder Zeit!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren!

[Alberta's Child]

I have to add one of the greatest instrumental compositions of modern times:

Gathering Crowds (This Week in Baseball)

One of my greatest memories as a kid was watching "This Week in Baseball" every weekend. I still get chills when I hear this song.
