Hmm, I think I'm probably going to be the only one to volunteer that I'm listening to stuff like Nine Inch Nails as inspiration right now, LOL! So many of my memories are associated with songs...from dancing with my mom to Barbra Streisand's "Woman in Love" when I was four to the high school summer I started to drive and Soul Asylum's "Runaway Train" was all over the radio.<br /><br />LOL at "Complicated"! Though I think nothing is worse than my aunt and cousin gleefully encouraging my then-four-year-old daughter's love of the song "Milkshake." Oh. My. God.<br /><br />I walked down the aisle to a string trio playing Canon in D...it's a favorite. That and Air on a G String, the name of which should not still make me giggle inappropriately (*snerk*).Kendra Leigh Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254059079950439368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-22275763026845285642009-04-20T13:34:00.000-04:002009-04-20T13:34:00.000-04:00I love Pachabel's Cannon in D myself, Cindy, and V...I love Pachabel's Cannon in D myself, Cindy, and Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

LOL!<br /><br />TToV was actually inspired by the opera "Jewels of the Madonna" by Hermanno Wolf-Ferrari. I heard the "Incidental Music" on the radio and it captured my attention and imagination and started me down that magical path of "what if..."<br /><br />I love classical music and my favorite is Beethoven's 6th symphony, "The Pastoral." It is very soothing (except for the thunderstorm part). But I also have a soft spot in my heart for John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" because in 8th grade, I played the piccolo solo at our commencement exercises. Practicing that part at home was the only time in my 5 year musical career that I ever made the dog howl. :-)<br /><br />ACLoucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217492654108300014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-87514198603975150022009-04-20T13:19:00.000-04:002009-04-20T13:19:00.000-04:00Sharon,

I am a Beatles' fan from way back and love all the music of the sixties.

But the ...Great Post Marie,<br /> I love so many songs.<br />But the first Song that came to mind was "Oh! Donna!! by Ritchie Valee. My first Air Force boy friend recorded that song down in a Night Club in Germany and they that song to me. He sang the last verse. Hard to forget that moment.<br />RG and I always liked "Happy Together" and "I'm Just a Carpenter and You're A Lady" will you marry me anyway. <br />He proposed to that song.<br />And than a song dear to my heart is" Knock Knocken on Heaven's Door.<br />That was a favorite song of my late Brother Tom or anything else written by our cousin BOB.<br />Boy that was a nice walk down Memory lane.diva donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04082281967754671607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-91940353431467443652009-04-20T10:07:00.000-04:002009-04-20T10:07:00.000-04:00Funny, one of my loops this morning is talking abo...Funny, one of my loops this morning is talking about using brand names to anchor the reader in a particular reality. <br /><br />Music does the same thing, and in addition, sets a mood. "Rainy Night in Georgia," is one of the most evocative songs to me. (Feels like it's rainin' all over the world.)<br /><br />Cheryl, I've always loved the driving energy of "Classical Gas." You remind me that I learned to stumble my way through "Maple Leaf Rag" on the piano. I never learned to play it well, and couldn't do it all now, but I love it's purely insouciant tone.<br /><br />In SEALed With A Promise, I have the heroine sing "Away In A Manger" and choke up on the last verse "...I ask thee to stay/Close by me forever, and love me, I pray."<br /><br />I figured I was free to quote it at will.Mary Margrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777940150169201630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-66926360623208787922009-04-20T09:58:00.000-04:002009-04-20T09:58:00.000-04:00Some great nominees for best song, ladies!

I learned to play "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams on the guitar way back when it was a hit, and being able to do that was one of the things I'm most proud of. I can't play it now, but I probably should at least try--if I could just find the sheet music for it....<br /><br />The one that gives me that certain feeling is "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. It reminds me of driving at night with my DH in his brand-new 1984 Honda Prelude. WAY cool!!!!Cheryl Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464377381132807409noreply@blogger.com
