Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Andy Williams and the rat pack.
Happy memories of listening to them in the rexall drug store and local grocery store before chains. Grandma visiting..

So to my great pleasure someone in the neighborhood has hijack a frequency and broadcast the 60/70 instrumentals on my car radio can't get it in the house...I always dreamed that in my retirement they would be the background of my aging... because the house station is playing 70/80 music with the tag line... every song a memory ...and that is so true... but it is depressing and at times I cry... life was so promising then

Disney songs. So many of them are emotionally connected to DD's childhood for me. Still cry, sometimes.

Christmas music, and to a lesser extent Easter hymns/hymns in general. I don't have a religious bone in my body, but my dad was the lead tenor in the choir at our church when I was a kid, and he'd been singing in choirs for years. Hymns were our lullabies, our car-travel songs. I can still hear him singing old favorites with his sister, the two of them in harmony, full volume, and everyone loving every minute of it.

Scores (or individual pieces) from ballets. DD is a dancer, and I watched her perform for over 20 years now. Some music from when she was very young, some pieces from when she was a professional. Once again, all very emotional for me.

definitely Disney music, and John Williams movie scores as well
