I have been in a rut with my music for really the past six months. Listening to the same songs over and over again. So this last Friday, I did a purge. I sat down with a bottle of whiskey and started the gutting of my ipod.
What kind? John Daniels. He may be Jack to you son, but when you have known him as long as I have... {name that movie}
I kid. I kid. About the bottle. It was only a pint.
I kid. I kid. I was just a glass.
Shew. I am on a roll here.
Anyhoo, after the painful deletion of my precious songs, I started fresh and anew. And here are the 20 songs I re-added, but all the rest shall be new. NEW NEW NEW songs. That I have not listened to on a normal basis in the past.
So, I need your help. I need you to give me your TOP 3. The TOP 3 songs that you could NOT IMAGINE LIFE without.
Below you will find my 20 - now I need yours...
If you had to clean out your ipod tomrrow and could only keep 3 songs...What would they be?

Well, I tend to listen to music until it is just as old and stale as the bottle of wine I cook with.
But one song that always makes me smile is Brand New Key by Melanie.
It makes me think of when I was a kid and a brand new pair of rollerskates was all I wanted.
For better or worse - here are my three songs...
Fear Sarah McLachlan
Ventura Highway America
Venus Bananarama
OOH me first?!
1. Don't stop believin' - Journey
2. Say - John Mayer
3. No One - Alicia Keys
So What by Pink (when ya want to dance around singing na-na-na-na)
Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade (Totally singable romantic song)
It's Tricky by Run DMC (For your inner 80s rap artist)
It is too hard to choose only 3 when you have over 400 in your IPOD...But I shall try...
Sweet Child of Mine GNR
Beautiful Thing Sister Hazel
All out of Love Air Supply...
Hey! You got to keep more than three!
1. I Can Only Imagine - Mercy Me.
2. Sunday in the South - Shenandoah
3. Mercy - Duffy
Man, that was difficult.
I just couldn't do it. Limit myself to 3. I have such a variety, that it really just depends on what mood i'm in to what I listen too. Late 80s rock, early 80s pop, 50 & 60s,country, the crap the daughter listens to since she is the one that loads my ipod(okay some of it I like)
You made the right choice with being blonde. It is very classy on you. How dumb someone should tell you gray. Jealous I say. You and your family are beautiful. I love how you helped the elderly couple. Those qualities are rare. People do not stop and care enough. You go CG, love your blog.
Sorry but I don't have any songs for you right now. Maybe later on. I just wanted to let you know I tried your recipe you had posted about "Hot Mexican Soup". Ask me how I liked it? OMG woman it's to die for. I just posted about it on my blog. I hope it meets with your approval?
Okay, Don't Laugh.
Old stuff - but I must always have:
(If I am only allowed three!!)
1. Puff, The Magic Dragon -
Peter,Paul & Mary
2. Gabriel's Oboe - YoYoMa
3. Sweet Little Jesus Boy -
Mahalia Jackson
~Mad(elyn) in Alabama
(who has over 2000 songs on her iTouch and couldn't really part with any of them.)
thanks for the encouragement, and I was up al night making my new blog. Come by and see me when you can, A Cat in My Lap.
I know, a very thought provoking title.
love, dana
1. I Will Love You
by Fisher
2. Ain't No Sunshine...
by Bill Withers
3. Love by Grace
by Lara Fabian
Ooh, this is tough.
Right now I'm going to have to go with:
1) "Steal my Sunshine" by Len
2) "Stay Beautiful" by The Last Goodnight
3) "Just Dance" by Lady GaGa
These three always get the endorphines flowing for me!
These are my latest crushes.
