Comment:
I have been feeling a little melancholy of late and I don't know why. I have a lot to be happy about. But anyways, this is a companion to my "Sharing a memory of gray" mix from way back. The sentiments are the same, but the cartoon emphasizes my love of humour. Hopefully you will all take pleasure in these (in my humble opinion) beautiful songs. Everybody keep smiling, Santa will be here soon! The Nigel Kennedy instrumental version of Danny Boy is quite lovely.
Feedback:
Some beautiful songs here, indeed, including some of my very favorites.
Yeah Gerry, Santa is coming to town, so don't worry be happy:-D, Many nice songs here, Fun to see Herb Alpert on you mix, I have computer-trouble at home again:( I've done a very funny Herb Alpert compilation from my vinyl-collection! I hope i could burn it down to a cdr this evening! See you around Gerry and take care!
This is lovely Gerry. Lots of wonderful picks. I've been listening to Roberta Flack lately, so it's nice to see her. That John Prine song always brings tears to my eyes.
hey gerard this is REALLY lovely. i like every song, specially roberta flack, pogues, neil young....aahhhh all of them! and never mind a bit of sentiment, it's november and it's all grey and dark out there. keep happy inside and all the best to you and your family!!!
Nice, gerry.
Great tunes as ever, Gerry.
really and truly beautiful. i love the sequence of the last four tracks.
Wow. How I LOVE that Beach Boys song (probably just because of that particular line). Great Nick Drake song too. And you already know my thoughts on that Tom Waits song. If you haven't seen it, check out the 80s documentary "Streetwise", which is where I first heard it. The film is devastating..... and it closes with that song. It's all too much. Thanks for this great mix, Gerry. I can't wait to hear this. I think it's one of your best.
What everyone else said...and then some.
Perfect opener Gerry.., and love the Jansch & Prine especially...., and the Young. All fit the "mood" you're in.
soft as snow
Beautiful collection of songs, Gerry. Many favorites from top to bottom. The Far Side was a great strip, and is sorely missed.
