A note explaining some of the music choices, like the perky version of Dixie or the marches. I was searching you tube for videos on metal detecting and came across this one in Kansas that had a fabulous version of Dixie. It is so lively and fun to listen to and always improves my mood (I am from the North, but I love Civil War history and respect the heck out of the people who fought on both sides)! The tune was a popular minstrel song before the South adopted it as their anthem during the Civil War. But, hey, they picked the best tune for getting the tired, disheartened soldiers going again. I also liked the John Phillip Souza march of Dixie. Really, you can kick your depressed mood by listening to these versions of Dixie and soon be whistling along!
Some of the others are just favorites from my youth like Quicksilver Messenger, In the Country by Three Dog Night, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Moody Blues, Wishbone Ash, David Crosby, etc. I would have more videos of Led Zeppelin, my number one all-time favorite band, and some other favorites but they tend to be removed from youtube more due to copyright issues.
The others are just favorite songs I have found over the years. My partner and I got to know each other over Soulful Strut by Hugh Masekela. An old boyfriend who was a good bluegrass guitarist always said Windy and Warm by Doc Watson was my song. I liked the way my boyfriend played it even more than Doc Watson. It was a little slower which allowed a little more emotion to come through, I think. I heard Glen Campbell sing I Remember You about the time I was getting married and I fell in love with it. It is still my favorite version and we played it at our wedding. (I saw an interview recently with Glen Campbell talking about his recent diagnosis of Alzheimers and he still looks great and sings great at 75). Yeah, marriages don't always last but often the friendship does. I appreciate them all!
I have lots more favorite songs and artists but haven't loaded them on the player, yet. Oh, I've added another big favorite, Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo!
The movie clips are either favorites from movies I have posts about or are to show how sexy or romantic some actor is or some song or scene is! That is why I have Elliot Cowan who played Mr. Darcy in Lost in Austen, Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black, Brendan Fraser, the hottest Tarzan, in George of The Jungle. And I only put Christopher Lee on there as Dracula to illustrate how he was the hot vampire in my youth like the hot vampires in the current phase of vampire and fantasy movies.
I recently added the song and video for You and Tequila, by Kenney Chesney and Grace Potter. It is hypnotic and they do it so well.
Music transports me to lovely places and times. Hope you find some you enjoy.
