NEW!! Talk Of The Music Forum
 

Should be interesting. Let's get some threads going

So...what is YOUR song?

For me..Strawberry Fields Forever.

Now, understand - I buy lots of music..from current stuff (I just got Ariel Pinks' new CD)...to stuff I learned to love with my dad (Miles' Kind of Blue)...to sensual tunes (Waters of March)...to difficult listens (Radiohead/Messian/Ornette Coleman)..and silly stuff (the Sherman Brothers songs for Disney). But...it was Strawberry Fields that made music real for me. And for you it is....?

Perfect. I was about to retire from TOTV because of the BS people have been complaining about lately. This will keep me going. This site could be the cyber space "Woodstock" Peace and love.

Miles Davis - "So What" -1956 - I was 16 and he was brand new (to me at least)

My song? Jimmy Buffetts A Pirate looks at 40, closely followed by come Monday & Margaritaville :bigbow:

Always have had music in my life starting with my parent's 78 RPM records...Glenn Miller, Rosemary Clooney, etc. But music became all encompassing with The Beatles I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Still thrill every time I hear it. Transports me back to innocence.

OK, hope my post qualifies for this, just have to get this out. Probably many of you here not only enjoy listening to all types music but get much satisfation from playing a musical instrument. Weather you play well or not I believe the effort is well worth it for your health and quality of life and here in TV there are multiple opportunities to learn, perfect a skill and perform if you so desire. One reason we ended up here (after the decision to retire to Fl) was for me to have the chance to participate in the Villages String Orchestra. All of you band and vocal folks can relate. My current listening fav? A string quartet with piano playing "All My Love" originally by Led Zepplin. Other favs: about anything by Bonnie Raitt, soundtrack to Pride and Prejudice (great solo performance of Rondo by Purcell), Vertigo by Jesse Cook (guitar) and Old English Hymns by Craig Duncan.

I agree with The Dancing Queen. I also love all types of music. I remember when I bought three 8-tracks (LOL) Led Zeppelin, Glen Campbell and The Four Seasons. Quite a variety.

its going to be a good good nite

:agree:


And also Love Me Do - the very, very beginning

OMG...Dandy Girl, these are the songs I remember the most. I can remember when I hung out at Shoney's in Charlotte outside where you could order from your car, the song I Wanna Hold Your Hand was the most popular.

If you like singing folk songs, there is a folk song group that plays Monday nights at Lake Miona. I think they start at either 6:30 or 7:00. There is a large group of a variety of instruments - guitars, banjos, ukeleles, harmonica, etc., that play ,and people in the audience can sing along. They have sheet music books you can borrow for the night so you have the words in front of you. Its a lot of fun.

The Villages Orchestra (formerly The Villages String Orchestra) is performing its Spring Concert on Friday, April 11th, 6 p.m. at New Covenant United Methodist Church.
