My play list has 71 songs including steel pan drum, Victor Provost, Jimmy Buffet, Kenny Chesney, The Beach Boys, A Twist of Marley, and a bunch of other stuff you'd say "how'd that get in there?" (Shakira, Madonna, Santana, Slash, Sting, etc.) If you want it, let me know, I'll be happy to provide it, but it's too long to list here. :D

I've really been wanting to "play" here for a while, but I don't seem to be able to play within the Itunes parameters. For one thing, I only seem to be able to keep my playlist below 100 songs until I hear another one.
Secondly, an awful lot of my songs aren't recognized by Itunes. What's up with that?!
So here is a link to my (current) favorite playlist to play in the store. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it makes you think of some songs you actually love(d) also, but haven't heard in a long time. I also hope it makes you discover some songs that you love that you've never heard before.

Enjoy!

Ruth, I love your playlist. Really love some of those songs I hadn't heard in a long time. Had to print it as well! Thank you for sharing it. Hopefully, I can find a majority of the songs on iTunes and look somewhere else for the others.

Ruth, good to see Eva Cassidy on your play list. She was a friend of ours in high school. We just came across a picture of her playing at our senior picnic. We run across her music in the oddest placed. The first time I heard her on the radio was in Amsterdam. She was more of a St. John in the shade kind of girl.

Cheers, RickG

Good morning Ruth
Great list. Lotsa Jackson Browne. The Late for the Sky album is one of my Top 10 of all time. Absolutely brilliant. Anyone who is a casual fan of his, the Eagles, Poco, etc. should check it out.

Also…seeing the Spingsteen song “Night” on your list always flashes me back to the first time I saw him. It was on October 13, 1976 from 5th row center at Kean College in Union NJ in their brand new acoustically designed 1000 seat theater.

Bruce and the E Street band (with the Miami horns) took the stage like tsunami, opening with THAT song, followed by Renezvous, Spirit in the Night, Its My Life, Thunder Road, and She’s the One.

I remember the hairs standing up on the back of my neck and chills running down my spine during several of the songs and thinking “well, he can’t top that one” and then they would proceed to do just that.
And even though I was only 19 at the time I also remember thinking after the show that what I had just experienced could wind up being the best live performance I would EVER see when you consider the combination of seat location, sound, and performance. And indeed that is still true to this day.

The only shows that have come close were other Springsteen concerts (some memorable Spectrum shows in Philly) and seeing The Who from the 20th row at the legendary 3200 seat Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ (first shows after Keith Moon died).

Springsteen - how about at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park on a weeknight in the winter - with about 100 people in the place (all going CRAZY) and him closing it down doing covers of Mustang Sally and Twist & Shout - memories...

Anthony and JMQ, thanks for the Bruce stories. I was too young to see him live back then but I did listen to WNEW broadcast his show from the Capitol Theater in Passaic in 1978.

LOL - the "can you top this" Bruce stories (not accusing you of this Anthony - I'm jealous of anybody who ever saw him at the Pony!) that are much fun to hear while tailgating before his shows reminds me of the Monty Python bit (there I go dating myself again) where a group of old rich guys are sitting around comparing how poor they were growing up.
"Our family was so poor we grew up in a box!"
"You had a box?"
