I don't have any thing available to put on here and I'm not a GREAT singer. I'm just a plain ole' singer. Nothing special. When I come to visit you one of these days I'll bring a song with me and sing for you. Anymore when I get a cold or any little thing it seems to bother my voice. But I still love music and love to sing!

After 60 years, there are so many songs that make me happy. I love being this age because I've been through so many different "eras." I have tons of good memories associated with so many types of music.

My favorite song as a kid in the back seat of my parents' car was something called
"Put Another Nickel In" by Theresa Brewer. It had a beat and this was pre rock and roll.


I think my two favorite songs though are "Summertime" and "Amazing Grace."

Amazing Grace sang by Judy Collins!!!!!
Great One!!

YES!!! I can't believe you found that. Thank you so much Janet. I never saw the visual act. That looked like Jimmy Durante playing the piano. Do you think it's possible? I read the reviews and the young man is Gower Champion. Wasn't it Marge and Gower Champion that was a wonderful dance team?

There was tremendous talent back then!

Welcome to 4WT Rhonda! I was away when you joined in.

That was a beautiful version. How about this one by Elvis:

Here's a version by Leann Rimes that could break your heart with its beauty

Here's "Summertime" by a few different people:

I better stop - there are just too many versions of both of these songs!

Just one more - "Danny Boy," also by Elvis

Oh my gosh I LOVE that song, Janet! It always makes me smile too. It actually was playing on my mp3 player on my way home from Mexico, and I was looking out the window at the mountains and had a little heart flutter moment
Another song that I love is "Smile" by Nat King Cole.
"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" is what my best friend and I skated to in our last year of figure skating back home, so the song always reminds me of her. We were dressed in pyjamas and pigtails, and near the end of the song we were singing in brushes and having a pillow fight on the ice in front of 200 people
Other songs that make me happy are super cheesy 90's pop songs that I used to love when I was about 12-16. I think I was just so happy and un-stressed in those times, it's nice to go back to that place for a little while!
