Off Topic: Favorite Music?

[casablancalover]

Hello!

Gilbert wrote those wonderful lyrics that are the challenge for any serious *Baritone*..

 

I am the very model of a modern Major General. . .

 

. . .Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,

And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

 

Thanks for the fantastic *Henry V* music! That part of the movie brings me to tears, and it does show that Kenneth did his research! Will I ever walk the ground of Agincourt? It is a fascinating battle to study..

*Bachman Turner Overdrive*. You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet:

 

 

 

I'm not sure what's with the stuttering...Ironic, for Mel Tillis and Robert Merrill, it's how they overcame their stutter -through singing.

[casablancalover]

Mel Tillis:

 

 

 

Robert Merrill:

 

 

 

The Robert Merrill is especially fun. Love those baritones!

What a great thread. Has anyone heard of these songs:

 

Playground in my Mind - Clint Holmes

 

 

 

 

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks

 

 

 

 

Rock Me Gently - Andy Kim

Billy Don't Be A Hero - Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods

 

 

[casablancalover]

If I may be so bold, may I shorten your handle to: Classic,

 

You have a number of interesting selections. I have always had a little problem listening to _Playground of My Mind_. Maybe it's me. The others are very good. I hope you have more surprises!

 

I've been exploring different genres this afternoon while cleaning up the apartment. Would you prefer to stick with the Danceable Seventies, or want to hear some new territory?

 

Something from the brief period right after DooWop and before the English Invasion:

Marcie Blane - Bobby's Girl:

My first boyfriend (6th grade) was named Bobby. I don't think I even kissed him; we were still in the loosing baby teeth stage!

It's taken a while to find this. Not because there's so few, but because there's sooo many.
