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

the Sirius XM that came with my car (for a little while at least)

my Dad and my brother playing guitar together

Playing, or singing, with other people. I did a lot of accompanying when I was in school. I had terrible stage fright for piano, (but not for singing, weird), and accompanying allowed me to be in the background and make the soloists look good.

So grateful that I was the perfect age for Beatlemania. And for a lot of other good music back then.

Grateful for almost every concert I’ve ever been to, from the NY Philharmonic to rock concerts. There used to be so much more live music at WDW, but I am still grateful for what they have.
