Hey, all. I need a little help throwing together an upbeat playlist of songs to listen to at work. I work along at nights cleaning clinics for a local hospital and since I have nobody to talk to, I need to listen to something to help the time go by quicker.

[Texas Eagle]

Thanks. Recording right now. Reminds me of Madison Rising.

Also brings to mind a Mickey Gilley song, I Believe in Puppy Dogs and Daffodils (or something like that). I'll look for it when this one's done.

Ah, yes.

[Texas Eagle]

Thanks. I’ll check ‘em out.

That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout. I don’t think I’ve heard that song in 30 years. Got it.

Anything by the Refreshments, a Swedish group that’s great. They have an hour plus performance I was able to put on a CD. Play it all the time in the car. Another group you’ll like is The Tractors. Go check out both on Youtube.

I myself and we at FR are fed up with the NFL…
…but if you can get ahold of the full CD set of “Autumn Thunder: The Music of NFL Films”, it contains the most productivity-enhancing music on the face of the earth.

Seriously. I have it on RIGHT NOW to help me power through boring chores I need to get done here at home alone. It does as good a job as possible keeping me company and keeping me motivated.

Buying it legally is an investment, but is well worth it.

One of the most upbeat songs by Elvis Presley Promised Land I first heard this while visiting Graceland and it was playing in the background.

Thanks. Sounds like mash up of Joe Bonamassa and an Irish ditty. Adding it.

It’s in German, but it’s so happy I wanna smack the fiddle player. In a *special* way, IYKWIM...

I’m half German so I’m good with that. I’ll have to add some Biergarten songs.

A bunch of Germans playing an Irish jig. Who’da thunk it. And IDKWYM.

Americana by Moe Bandy is a good one for your patriotic list.

[Songcraft]
