A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

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....
Always On My Mind I Always Get Lucky Good Hearted Woman If Tomorrow Never Comes Behind Closed Doors Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain By The Time I Get To Phoenix I Cross My Heart Crazy Arms Pretty Woman This Is Where The Cowboy Rides Away Waltz Across Texas
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....
White Cliffs Of Dover I'll Be Seeing You There I Said It Again When The Lights Go On Again That's My Desire The Boys In The Back Room Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy You Belong To Me I'll Get By
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.
Wind Beneath My Wings (Bette Midler) When I Fall In Love (Celine Dion Duet) The Best Years Of My Life (Diana Ross)
Easy Listening
Easy on the ears... sit back, relax, and let the music take you away.:)
Blue True Love Ways Thanks For The Memories My Heart Will Go On I Will Always Love You Argentina Tiny Bubbles Saved The Best For Last
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.
Hymns
Because He Lives (wave file - beautiful!) I've Got A Mansion Amazing Grace His Eye Is On The Sparrow Whispering Hope It Is No Secret Let There Be Peace On Earth
Patriotic
Anchors Aweigh Battle Hymn Of The Republic America Medley The Star Spangled Banner
God Bless America!
And God Bless You! Thank you for listening. Most of the links are uploaded to my server; a few of the others might change sometime in the future, but for now they all work. Hope you will enjoy the music and keep coming back throughout the day!

I just really wanted to dance with you and didn't know if your frail legs were up to it. :)
Unfortunately, they're not up to it. :-(
What a relief! I've been unsuccessfully trying to think of a reason to get out of dancing until Billie mentioned...... :-)
To: ST.LOUIE1
Wolfie!
you're a great dancer!

Howdy ! I hope I'm not forgetting anyone in my list there. We had a great time last night with the Robinson's and Texas Freeper get-together. The Robinsons are really great, just like everyone said. The Texas Freepers are, too.
SerpentDove took some pics and told me that he had some comments that he would like to include in the thread, so he will be posting the report tonight. I just sent him an email with the pics I got and uploaded in posting template form, along with a little bit of stuff that may help him with the thread. When he gets it posted, he's supposed to Freep mail me with the thread URL so I can ping my lists.
I'm tired. I only got about 3 hours sleep last night since I started working on the pics right after I got home. Plus I think I left my credit card at Cozymel's last night. I need to call them and make sure they have it. I hope they do.
I'll see ya'll later. :^D
zzzzzzzzzzz .....
Oh, here's some coffee, LadyX ! :^D
Have a cup while you FReep ! |

WOW! Great thread Billie! Thanks, Diva. :) I'm glad the wolfie lured you over here. I think I stepped on his toes one too many times though - he went hopping off on *two* feet (he only had three good ones to start with) right after lunch. He promised to be back after he soaks his paws though. :)

What a relief! I've been unsuccessfully trying to think of a reason to get out of dancing until Billie mentioned...... :-) Now, now, T Man, that's just an excuse - truth is I know you've been dying to ask me to dance but were afraid I'd turn you down. :)

Dang, that's a lot of women Even wolfie would have trouble with that many. LOL Ok, I exaggerated by a couple hundred. "Nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine" just sounds more impressive than "nine thousand, seven hundred and ninety-nine" :)

It's the fur, you know. Or the silver tongue. :)
Both! But wolfie really thinks it's the way he swishes his tail.You know, sexy-like. LOL
Of course - that plus the fact that he's so humble. LOL
