Having a concert!

| | Comments (0)

I'm now having a concert! A sing along concert to songs from my past (and a few from the present!). Buying one or two favorite songs at iTunes is a wonderful thing!

I spent the about 5 hours today going through my old 33rpm LPs (vinyl record albums), my old cassette tapes, and my very old 45rpm singles (vinyl). From those, I culled a lot I have no attachment to, and bought songs I love or like a lot - or just want in my music library for sing-alongs! I also bought from Amazon full CDs from a few artists.

Some of the older singles are:

  • Be My Baby, Cry to Me, Hungry Eyes, Overload, She's Like the Wind, Stay, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, You Don't Own Me - Dirty Dancing soundtrack
  • C'est la Vie, Closer to Believing, Hallowed By Thy Name, Lend Your Love to Me Tonight, Nobody Loves You Like I Do, I Believe in Father Christmas - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
  • Stand by Me - Ben E. King
  • Meeting in the Ladies Room, Sexy, The Men All Pause - Klymaxx
  • Mandy, Weekend in New England - Barry Manilow
  • Babe, Boat on a River, First Time, Love in the Midnight - Styx

Older albums and collections:

  • The Essential Alabama - Alabama
  • The Definitive Collection - Rick James
  • Long Time Coming - Ready for the World
  • Ready for the World - Ready for the World
  • Streisand Superman - Barbra Streisand
  • The Essential Luther Vandross - Luther Vandross

CD albums to replace the many cassette tapes of New Age music (excellent for "downtime" listening):

  • Definitive Collection - Kitaro
  • Dream Catcher - Kevin Locke (Tokeya Inajin)
  • Tribal Winds: Music from Native American Flutes - Various artists

Newer singles and CD albums are:

  • Daughtry - Daughtry
  • Noel - Josh Groban
  • Enjoy the Ride - Sugarland
  • Before He Cheats (single) - Carrie Underwood
