So I'm going to turn the venerable old Archos Jukebox mp3-er on and set it to 'random' and see what it sings...I shall just let it run till I have to leave for work.
let's boogie.
1. Town Called Malice (The Jam) -- any good session has to start with this, no?
2. Horn Concerto No. 2 in E flat (Mozart)
3. The Phony King of England (from Robin Hood)... and down with that scurrrrrvy Prince John!
4. I'm Troubled (Flatt & Scruggs). Good banjoing.
5. Rain Must Fall (Queen)... oh, Mel, I could just see you tapping your feet Billy-style to "Don't Stop Me Now" on a Ukrainian bus. Delightful.
6. Someone to Watch Over Me (Chet Baker). Chet Baker, James Dean and my dearest brother are somehow linked in my mind.
7. Free--Take My Life (Jill Paquette)
8. Here with Me (MercyMe)
9. Limes (Little Women ST)...from you, Mel! :-)
10. Mr. Yunioshi (from the Breakfast at Tiffany's ST)... have you seen the movie? Mr. Yunioshi is a staggeringly embarrassing part of it. :-)
11. The arrival of Tinkerbell (Hook ST; wow, we're on a soundtrack roll)... also from you, Mel-o. You know, for many years of my childhood I could not fathom that Captain Hook and Dustin Hoffman could possibly be the same person.
12. It is Well With My Soul (Hymns in the Vineyard)
13. When Summer Ends (ST of Lewis & Clark documentary). I love PBS documentaries that pick you up and make you an invisible participant in another world within the world.
14. We Are What You Say (Sufjan Stevens). This man makes good music. First song I heard was "Holland" while on a roadtrip with Popo; we went to Holland, Michigan, where we were born. I think Sufjan takes the title for best Holland, Michigan song of all time. I'm not sure he has any competition there, but even if he did, he'd take the title.
15. As I Love You (Carmen McRae)
16. Playmate (Willie Nelson)...what a great album 'Rainbow Connection' is. Willie's voice is like a homey shed to live in. The best of forts.
17. When You're in Love (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ST). Tak...
18. On the Road to Find Out (Cat Stevens)
19. I Love to Boogie (T. Rex) Okay, so I cheated and picked this one on purpose, but it's almost time for me to leave for work and the Archos missed the boat on this one.
Goooo Billy! Spin it!
Okay, I'm off to "work," or as I like to think of it, "chatting with two-year-olds."
keep dancing.
i love you forever; always be yourself.

Oh Tak...heard from him again. Early one morning he woke me up with his ramblingrussian and I could hardly understand...but tak...:) oh you.
i love that you used that russian word, i love that you love and dig music. and i love that you knew that i did the billy foot tap when I heard Queen on the bus.
and i love you. and i miss you. and look forward to seeing you again sometime soon over the rainbow....if birds can fly over the rainbow...why oh why can't I? (with our Kate of course)
