“It is so cold here in Los Angeles...just checked and it says 38, and for us that is FREEZING!!!”

I lived there from 76-06. Never that cold before!

Let me put you on hold for a moment......”Hello Copenhagen ? Get me Algore”

Hi Polly! When I was younger, I didn’t realize it got so cold in California. Think I thought it was another sunshine state....LOL! I feel much better physically in warm, pretty weather.

See you later today, I have a lot to do today! Have a good one! ((Hugs))

Me too, SJB! We don’t have snows here anymore that amount to much. Sure had it when I was young and we had so much fun sleigh riding, etc. Even when my boys were small, we had some nice snows!

[jaycee]

LOL~~Don’t tell the Bore as he will say “See?”

Billie, there are not many words left to describe the beautiful songs Susan sings. This was a mighty powerful song, I listened twice! I am going to go back and try to keep what you’ve posted of her....at least I will have them a while.

The piano graphic is perfect with that good gospel piano in the background of her song. Thanks~~~~

[pollywog]

Thank you for this great song and marvelous graphic! I want that piano and the room it is in!! OH WOW!!!! Can you imagine sitting at that piano and playing heavenly music as you look out on wooded grounds!!

[pollywog]

Is this song on her new album ?

[jaycee]

I think so, Polly! Have you bought it yet? I may get it too! I loved that song just now!

[Billie]

Thank you, jaycee. I will leave her songs uploaded indefinitely. It does seem that everyone here has been completely enthralled with her voice and music, and unless my server space really starts running low, I don't mind leaving some music there. (Taylor and now Susan among those that I don't plan to delete. LOL)

I know I have mail to answer - will do so later. :)

Algore: “ Inordinate cold spells are caused by global warming......no, wait a minute....Global cooling causes an inordinate amount of.....just a minute while I check my notes....

Cohort(whispering) : “Don’t bother to look it up Al, it’s all made up anyway”

[Billie]

Oh, I love your snowscene in the post above this one, and I'm happy you can "make it snow" now. :)

[Billie]

Wouldn't it be heavenly to have that piano, and that room! Amy also found that graphic the other day, and I knew I'd use it somehow for one of Susan's songs. It didn't need anything except 'framing' and 'Amy's Place' heading on it! "Up To The Mountain" seems perfect because it starts out with such a pretty piano solo.

To answer you other question - yes, it's on her new album. There are 12 tracks:

1. Wild Horses
2. I Dreamed A Dream*
3. Cry Me A River**
4. How Great Thou Art
5. You'll See
6. Daydream Believer*
7. Up To The Mountain*
8. Amazing Grace
9. Who I Was Born To Be*
10. Proud
11. The End Of The World
12. Silent Night

*We have posted these with openers
**A few weeks ago, I posted a link to YouTube of this one

My personal favorites are the ones we've used for openers here, with "Who I Was Born To Be" being at the very top of my list! :)

"Up To The Mountain"...Wonderful, Billie!

~Happy Tuesday Everyone~

[pollywog]

Haven’t bought the CD yet, but hopefully today or tomorrow. I need to head to Walmart...but brrrrrrrrr...can I go in my pj’s and robe? LOL

[jaycee]

teeheehee...Ain’t it the truth?

[Billie]

jaycee, I don’t have the post #’s, but can give you the dates of the openings with Susan Boyle’s songs - all of them have been this month, with “Who I Was Born To Be” to open this new thread on Tuesday, December 1st. We also did “Daydream Believer” last Thursday, and yesterday was “I Dreamed A Dream” and today of course “Up To The Mountain”. Maybe that will help you to find and save all the songs so you can listen again. :)

[jaycee]

I can go back and find them and I will do that. Yesterday’s is easy but I have done a lot of searching on here and I usually find what I want.

Just got my shower to see if I could find my get up and go...I have to get something done today but I will check in and out~~thanks!
