Oldies But Goodies (songs)

Reality check:
Last night, I asked a counter girl in a Chik Filet with Brandi on her nametag what she thought of the old song "Brandi". The answer, of course, was "What song named Brandi, I never heard of it". I noticed more grey hair this morning.
 
Got Pandora running thru my Sony TV to my Bose... Relaxing on the back deck with an a adult beverage. Too many good tunes to list them all... The Doobie Brothers 'Black Water' is playing at the moment... I think Pugsters is barking at a deer in the woods... Life is good in Tennessee. :)
 
Gotta' back up to the 50's rock and roll and late 40's and 50's western swing for me. :)

While I enjoy listening to what the radio stations now call "classic rock" (which translated means if you were around when it came out you are now old), I prefer the oldies. The REAL oldies. Giving all due respect to the guitar genius of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, if you went by the percentage of time a particular type of music was playing on my stereo I have this odd feeling my preferred music choice would leave me alone, or nearly so, on the classical music island.

When they ask that typical "Beatles or Rolling Stones?" question I usually answer Tchaikovsky...

Unless of course I must pick a rock band, and then I say "Lynyrd Skynyrd." :D

Scooter, thanks for the clip. But it's even better as the Stokowski transcription for full orchestra. IMHO.

Rick-

If you're single, get her a used CD of it, if she seems to have potential to be at least a friend. She might like it. I guess some counter girls at Chick-Fil-A are classier and smarter than most...I've seen some college students in the mix there. And I know one who works part-time at an upscale burger place.

Is this the one where the barmaid loves the sailor who brought her silver from Spain? I always liked that. Don't know who sang it. I'll try to find it for you.

I know I've heard it on the sound in restaurants, including some like Chick-Fil-A. (sp?)

In fact, I need to get that when I go for the song by La Oreja de Van Gogh. (See separate topic for that video, the one needing translation)

You know, it seems just yesterday when the songs we're posting here were very current, and some became classics. I keep a range of music, from about the 15th Century-on. The good ones are good ones, and I don't feel "dated" in liking them! (Even, "Greensleeves" and, "Music of the High Renaissance." The gentleman who said he likes J.S. Bach knows a good thing when he sees it! Although my son argues for Pachibel's, "Canon" as a superior choice...)

I'll go look for, "Brandi".

LATER:

A Whiter Shade of Pale - Sarah Brightman - YouTube

"A Whiter Shade of Pale", by Sarah Brightman. The style is more elegant and melodious than the version from Procul Harum, if I have the name of the original singers right.

Sounds like a different song from her remarkable vocal chords. I think I have all of her CD's, and very often, when I need my spirits lifted, I play one.

Brightman, who used to be married to Andrew Lloyd Webber, is one of the great voices of our day.
