Sorrowful but it fits the theme.

Evocation. In Memoriam September 11, 2001. Upton Trio.

There is a reason why such tunes are played at formal events, not pop music.

The Ballad of Apollo 11--Red River Dave (1969)

[FamiliarFace]

It’s been a solemn day here. I tried to focus on the chores I thought were most necessary. I got about half of the things I intended to get done accomplished. Maybe my time was better spent reflecting on our lost fellow citizens, and just praying in general.

[luvie]

#3...Fiji Hill!!
Amen to that sentiment!

[luvie]

Honorable Mention....Red Badger!!
One of the icon tunes from that time...

[Red Badger]

The second posted song was 2023 rewritten with new lyrics..........

[luvie]

It has been for me, too. I’ve been watching some of the videos that are a staple every year on this day. And thinking about it.

And wanting to slap Mandhani and AOL into next week for their disrespect. 😡

Billy Joel: We Didn't Start the Fire

[luvie]

I saw that. I need to listen to it now.
