I love it, but Bob hates it for some reason I've never understood. And it would have made me cry. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 19200. arkymalarky - 4/25/2006 4:51:36 PM I thik Pelle's idea of getting suggestions from friends is best. One man's wine is another man's cheese, and friends who actually hear what you like would probably be really helpful. I love "We've Only Just Begun," but other people don't at all. 19201. PelleNilsson - 4/25/2006 4:59:31 PM I'm digressing here, but I just thought of Peter Sellers who did a hysterically funny impersonation of Sir Laurence Olivier reading the lyrics of "A Hard Day's Night" in his full Shakespearean mode. 19202. iiibbb - 4/25/2006 5:23:44 PM 19200. arkymalarky - 4/25/2006 4:51:36 PM
I thik Pelle's idea of getting suggestions from friends is best.
Sorta why I'm asking here...
This music is very hard... A lot of nice melodies out there, but when you listen to the words it's all wrong.
P is not into classical so much.
Went to a really good wedding last summer that had a guy do the soundtrack to Shrek... surprisingly good wedding music in that... too bad we can't use the idea. We invited that couple. 19203. Macnas - 4/25/2006 5:40:19 PM Instrumentals iiibbb lad, never mind the words. 19204. PelleNilsson - 4/25/2006 5:51:34 PM But people will think of the lyrics when they hear the song. I think "Bridge over troubled waters" would do nicely and would fit the flute with a soft guitar. And then there is the one with the British girl (old now, though) whose name I always forget on the theme "I'll be there when you need me ... just call my name". 19205. alistairconnor - 4/25/2006 5:52:46 PM And here's to you, Mrs Robinson.
Oh perhaps not. 19206. arkymalarky - 4/25/2006 7:40:05 PM I should have said irl friends, 3i3b, because they hear what you like to listen to. Bob's nephew is a concert violinist and they had a beautiful string quartet of his friends and colleagues at his wedding, which was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to. His wife is Malaysian and a pianist, and they had the loveliest blend of Eastern and Western features--colors, music, styles, flowers--everything. 19207. Adam Selene - 4/25/2006 7:43:34 PM I wish me a happy birthday,
I wish me a happy birthday,
I wish me a happy birthday,
'cause I turned fift-eeeee!
Wheee! I made it! AARP membership, here I come! 19208. arkymalarky - 4/25/2006 7:52:52 PM Happy birthday Adam!! Hope you have a great landmark day! 19209. judithathome - 4/25/2006 7:58:56 PM Happy Day, Adam...get yourself down to IHOP and get the Senior Grand Slam! 19210. Adam Selene - 4/25/2006 8:16:35 PM Senio discounts at 50? Seems like cheating.... I just got my black belt, still bike 20 miles on the weekend and chase my dog for a mile every day... decent money in my 401 k and a 6 figure salary...and I get special treatment? Just doesn't seem right somehow. 19211. wabbit - 4/25/2006 8:23:08 PM Happy birthday Adam! My discount will kick in in a few more months -- I'm really looking forward to the discount car insurance! 19212. Adam Selene - 4/25/2006 8:31:46 PM I saw an analysis recently - despite the popular image of the downtrodden senior, the richest segment of Americans are those over 60. Yet they get all these special discounts and are one of the lowest-consuming groups... makes no sense. By all economic theory, loss-leaders should go to those most likely to consume more... the younger generation. 19213. Adam Selene - 4/25/2006 8:41:58 PM Sorry - IHOP seniors are 55+ according to their web menu. 19214. wabbit - 4/25/2006 8:48:28 PM I bet that lowest-consuming stat will change... 19215. Adam Selene - 4/25/2006 8:51:09 PM lowest per capita, not gross. But as the Boomers move up - will they keep their free-spending ways? hmmmm.... methinks not, but that's just based on my own maturation. I'll admit most of my compatriats still haven't grown up. They believe deep in their hearts that they could never be one of those evil 30'somethings we once reviled. 19216. wabbit - 4/25/2006 8:52:07 PM iiibbb,
Back in the dark ages, I was going to have a guitar-playing friend sing "Come Live With Me and Be My Love" (the Eddy Arnold version). Probably not contemporary enough these days, who knows anything about turtledoves anymore?
Something like "My Best Friend" maybe? Without knowing what you two like, it's hard to narrow the field. How about Tony Bennett's "The Best Is Yet To Come"? 19217. alistairConnor - 4/25/2006 10:51:37 PM Congratulations Adam, you're halfway there. Or something.
