Imagine they
are making a film about your life and YOU have to make the soundtrack to
it ? What would it consist of ? I am thinking as I write and will post my soundtrack a bit later. Everything is allowed - lots of guilty pleasures I'd imagine. |

Without getting to specific (song titles etc), there'd have to be alot of Blues Rock influence, since it always surfaces in any era of my life. Clapton, Johnny Winter, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and of course Rory Gallagher (God rest his blues ridden soul).
British invasion (first and second wave) should also be included. Cheers, Barrie. |

| It would have to begin with my sister and I singing HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW as toddlers. Prepuberty would be threaded through with The Doors' WILD CHILD. WITCHY WOMAN would probably come next, followed by SCHOOL'S OUT, Alice of course, and more WITCHY WOMAN. Jefferson Starship's A CHILD IS COMING, from Blows against the Empire would follow. This would probably be a good time for THAT SONG ABOUT THE MIDWAY from Bonnie Raitt's Streetlights album. My travellin, living in a van years could be accompanied by ROUTE 66 maybe, fading into MARDI GRAS MAMBO, back to RTE 66, into CAUGHT IN THE RAIN by Dan Hicks, back to RTE 66 and into ANGEL SPREAD YOUR WINGS, Danny O'Keefe. From there I think I'd interlace Clapton's FOREVER MAN and Greg Allman's I'M NO ANGEL. I'd have to have ROCK ME by Great White in there somewhere, and this is the place, I think. Then Zappa could throw in a little MOVIN TO MONTANA, fading out with OUR HOUSE, CSNY over the credits. Hey, this was a fun way to spend my lunch break. 'Course, this would all be subject to change ;*) |

| Actually, Manny, I'm sick to death of Our House, never want to hear it again, and what's really bad is that whenever they do it live they quit singing and let the audience do it. yuk. But it had its moments and it applies. Give me The Lee Shore off 4 Way Street any day. |

| I think the sound track of my life, so far, would be the music playing in the background of the Vonage ads. Sorry, Ramblingjack, if you don't get those adverts. It might be a 'merican thing. |

In case ramblingjack has never seen the Vonage commercials, he can always hear the song ("Woo Hoo" by the .6.7.8s).

Yup, that's the one. Kind of a goofy little ditty.

What fun!
I'll start with Classic Country because that was what Daddy always listened to. Hank William's Your Cheating Heart and Patsy Cline. My teen years was accompanied by Blood, Sweat, and Tears, especially Spinning Wheel and When I Die and You've Made Me So Very Happy and, well, every song David Clayton Thomas ever sang. Also Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Waters and The Boxer. Let's throw in some show tunes for all the years I did community theatre The soundtracks for The Fantasticks, Hello Dolly, and Man of La Mancha should do it. All those summers sharing a beach house has to include Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFarren and The Beach Boys' Kokomo and by Reggae music in general. I remember dancing in the snow after skiing to Cindi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. You know you need new ski boots when you can dance in them. But that is a great song to stand in for all the apres ski parties during the years I'd get in 50 days of skiing a year. Patsy gets reprised when I was having boyfriend problems. I would play Crazy and Sweet Dreams and Walking after Midnight a lot. And now? Now I go through life accompanied by Andrea Bocelli, Craig Chaquico, and Marc Antoine. Not my favorite songs, necessarily, but the tunes that were playing during my life. |
