Let it be known that today, Wednesday, the 9th of June, 2004, is hereby declared Music Day at the Finest, and you may B.Y.O.M. or click on mine. I hope you dance, if you are so inclined; sing along, if the music moves you. Clap your hands, snap your fingers, tap your toes.....but whatever you do, don't just sit there - move *something*!
A brief note: most of the links are midi files, because they load and play quicker, though there are some wave files - several are full-length, beautiful songs for you to enjoy; some are clips to give you just a taste.
Now playing, in no particular order ...
Classical
1812 Overture Trumpet Voluntary Ave Maria Fur Elise
Irish Love Songs
I'm going to linger here for a while. Sigh.... see you on down the thread a bit later. :) These lilting, Irish Love Songs are sung by John Gary.
Danny Boy My Wild Irish Rose Kathleen Mavourneen I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen Once Upon A Time Softly As I Leave You This Is All I Ask
The following song is dedicated to a certain Irishman (and sometimes wolfie), because it holds a very special place in his heart....right next to his mom.
The Last Rose Of Summer (midi file)
by Thomas Moore (Arr. Frank Gallagher)
Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone, All her lovely companions Are faded and gone. No flow'r of her kindred No rosebud is nigh To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, To pine on the stern, Since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them
Thus kindly I'll scatter Thy leaves o'er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow When friendships decay; And from love's shining circle The gems drop away When true hearts lie wither'd And fond ones are flow'n Oh! Who would inhabit This bleak world alone?
Oldies But Goodies
Is any music thread complete without the Beatles? Let your mouse hover over each one for their names. But you already know who they are. :)
Yesterday Hey Jude Life Goes On (Obladi Oblada) A Hard Day's Night And I Love Her Let It Be
Is any music thread complete without Elvis? He is The King, a Legend, and his music lives on.
Are You Lonesome Tonight? Don't Be Cruel Jailhouse Rock Loving You I Want You, I Need You, I Love You Love Me Tender You Ain't Nothing But A Hounddog
Country & Western
Real old stuff, real 'old' guys :) - Willie Nelson, Charlie Rich, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, George Jones, Glen Campbell, Roy Orbison, and more....

A Taste of the Forties
Just a taste...short wave file sounds from some of the songs of "the Greatest Generation" during World War II....

Cajun & Nu Aw'leens
Louisiana has it's own brand of music, which I find colorful and jazzy; but most of all, I find whenever I listen to it I just *gotta* tap my toes!
Jambalaya Don't Worry, Be Happy Jolie Blonde Don't Mess With My Toot Toot Alexander's Ragtime Band City Of New Orleans When The Saints Go Marching In Yakety Sax
Divas
Bette Midler, Celine Dion, Diana Ross....there's no mistaking these three are Divas who take command of the stage and hold their audience captive from the first note to the last. I hope you enjoy these three full-length songs I've chosen.

Easy on the ears... sit back, relax, and let the music take you away.:)

Taps
We've all been thinking of President Reagan, and his family, and reflecting on the many wonderful things he did for our country during his two terms in the White House. I'd like to dedicate the last two groups of music to his memory.
To the Gipper, with great fondness, tremendous respect, and deep admiration.
