Hello Vee and Everyone,
I didn't want to open up an entirely new topic so I'm bummin' space off Vee's topic about music. My question about music is 'What is your favorite Christmas CD, LP, or whatever? Do you enjoy more traditional Christmas music (as I do), or do you prefer the newer, more modern offerings? My all-time favorite Christmas album/artist has to be the late-great Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song. I get all lumpy throated as soon as I hear "Chestnuts roasting on a open fire...". I also enjoy some of the more contemporary instrumental CDs by artists such as Manhatten Steamroller, etc. her is my top five favorite Christmas songs:
(1.) The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole
(2.) I'll be home for Christmas - Elvis Presley
(3.) Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies - from 'The Nutcracker by Peter I can't spell his Russian last name 
(4.) White Christmas - Bing Crosby (who else??!!)
(5.) Have a Holly-Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives

I too like the more traditional Christmas songs. I don't care for the modern stuff at all.
Here's my Classic Christmas music station on Pandora. Enjoy!

The rest can call you Vero, I'll still choose Vee.
You know Vee, This is the second time I have clicked onto "what are you listening toright now", and I spend the afternoon going from one to the other. I guess to many people now days, I'm considered a relic. But from what I see now-a-days, I'm happier back in the past.
Today, couples dance back to back. Where is the romance in that?.,,,,, Dates? Going to a rock concert, or a basketball game?, wearing worn jeans and polo with hands on front clutching what?.
On a blind date, pulled off by my sister, I was at the front door of this house, wondering what the heck am I doing here. The door opened and there she was. All I saw were those eyes, and my life changed forever. Those days, we dressed in white shirts (cuff links if you had them) ties, sport coats, and spit polished shoes. You picked up your date at her door, and lost your breath at the site. Prety as a picture in her dress, little hat, and those white gloves. You opened the car door for her(as I did for our entire married life). Call me a schmo or whatever, but I still do when in the company of a lady.
Now, take today. They are not sweethearts, they are "buddies". They don't go on dates by themselves, they go in a group. If by chance they go alone, They show up in--- JEANS---. What does that say???. In a nut shell, if you see any couple, promiced to each other or not, if they don't hold hands in public, there's no future for them.
Sorry to carry on like this,,, but tell me one thing; Don't you wish romance was back in vogue?

Everything But the Girl.
One of my old bandmates turned me onto this band a long time ago. She has such a gorgeous voice and the melodies are just excellent. In fact, am using it as background for our local Channel 98 broadcast for January 2010. It can also be heard on our local (also produced by me), Alger Michigan website. If you would like to hear two tunes which accompany the slide show on the web, just click here to give a listen:
You may have to download a SAFE add-on in order to hear it!
