Maybe this was done before, but here goes: Pick your three favorite songs, any style, any order. No other rules. I'll start with mine; Claire De lune(Debussy), Harvest Moon(Neil Young), and Asia(Steely Dan). These change often, but Claire De lune is always up there.Anyone care to go next? JimP

Sonny, I don't know much about 2 of your songs, Glow Worm I've heard, I used to play some Mills Bros standards from a Mel Bay guitar book, songs like Dinah, Moonglow, and Till There Was You. I wish I still had that book! JimP

If I put down three, I would be re-editing every 5 minutes until Christmas, I would go crazy. Too Many.

1) Mountain Jam - the Allman Brothers Band. (This is kind of long for a song)
2) Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. (This is a really long song)
3) I only know two songs!

Bart is right, there's a lot more than just three, but anyway, here are three that are on my list anytime (In ten minutes I'll probably say "How could I forget about this one!" )

1) "Wolves" (Stephanie Davis)
2) Does My Ring Hurt Your Finger (Charley Pride)
3) "12th Of Never" (Connie Smith)

Kind Regards, Walter

Just an impossible question for me.

But I DO know if i was on an desert island,
and could only have ONE peice of music til the end of my days, it would be.
Bartok's Concerto For Orchestra.

Something I could never finishing finding new things to hear, well almost never.

Yeah, I know that they change daily, or even hourly, but at this instant , what are they?
Eric, is that first one a song, or a new nickname?

Number 1 for me has to be "Shadow of Your Smile" I probably have 10 or 12 various recordings of this on guitar and steel also. It can be interpreted so many different ways. Then there is also the vocal version by Stan Hitchcock with Chalker playing steel. Great.

Second is probably "Amazing Grace" This song can also be interpreted many different ways. I still get that little tingle everytime I hear it.

Third is also a Gospel song "Daystar" Perfect melody for steel and the words are powerful.

Do they have to be country?

1. I Want to Know What Love Is, by Foreigner

2. Broken Wings, by Mr. Mister

3. Ashokan Farewell is quickly moving into 3rd position, particularly Lloyd Green's rendition.

Usually I tie half of mine behind my back, so tee up..

If you have to ask, as they say...



EJL

Half a mind.

I don't love you like I used to do;
But I'm afraid to tell you so.

I've got half a mind to leave you,
But only half the heart to go.

Words to tell you just don't come to me;
Guess my courage is too slow.

I"ve got half a mind to leave you,
But only half the heart to go.

Now time, may prove that you're not to blame;
But now's the time I need to know.

I've got half a mind to leave you,
But only half the heart to go.

ET.

My favorite country song is GRAND TOUR, however, sung by Aaron Neville. I don't like the "theme" of divoice at all; but I do like how he describes their home . . . and YES, YES, YES - the TWANGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

Bill, thanks for choosing Ashokan Farewell.
When the TV series about the American Civil War was first shown over here, that tune moved me to tears.
Later, there was a follow-up about songs from the Civil War.
Yellow Rose of Texas, Lorena and many others were performed beautifully by Hoyt Axton, John Hartford, Richie Havens and a host of contemporary artists.
Does anyone know if the soundtrack is available on CD?
Thanks, again. Arch.

...I couldn't possibly have only 3, but since you asked for 3, here they are...because they can make me cry...

...another vote for "Beethoven's 6th Symphony"...I could do an Edward G. Robinson in Soylent Green and cash out to that one...

..."Over The Rainbow"...

..."Danny Boy"...

Wow, that's a tall order. How 'bout my three favorite symphonys. Or my three favorite CD's, that might be possible

My favorite piece of music is easy. It's the Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo. But, I don't think that music like that, as well as Beethoven, could even be loosely classified as a song.

If I keep it to basically country and steel there are still quite a few. Here's my best shot, and like others have said, it changes all the time.

1. San Antonio Rose - Bob Wills - 'cuz my Mom used to sing it to me.

2. The Distance Between You and Me - Dwight Yoakam

3. Walkin' After Midnight - Patsy Cline

Don! You and I have something else in common: MY favorite piece of classical music is also the Rodrigo Concerto de Aranjuez, especially the second movement. I think it's in my blood, since my family lived for centuries in Spain (until the Spanish Inquisition, that is...) Love that piece of music!

Jim -

I played that movement in an Honors Recital when I was in school. Probably the most beautiful combination of notes ever written down, at least for guitar anyway.
