Choosing the Music to Take With Me

14 February 2008

Choosing the music and songs to take with me.

When the road is long, still many miles to go, there will be times that I shall want music, hymns and songs for company and to sing along to, and of course on Sunday morning, I must have Ambridge, the Archers.

I personally have well over 100 CD’s to choose from, so here is a taster of the contents of my mp3 player.

Today I did something that is rare for me, I bought a new CD. If you are like one of the millions of us, that watched with me, Andrew Lloyd -Weber’s Joseph, and if you like me, shed a few tears when one by one our boys were voted off the show and experienced tears running down your face as the ones left took off that coat; then you like me will be pleased to know that 5 of our boys have formed a group called ‘ Dream On’ That’s right, our boys are now on CD and I am listening to it as I type, so ‘Dream On’, will be on my list.

Next in the music section, will be Newcastle Youth Orchestra. I have a friend who, in her young days, played a violin in this Orchestra. I shall get great pleasure in listening to their music.

Vera Lynn. White Cliffs of Dover, Wish me luck as you wave me good- by. I could not do a selection of songs without including Dame Vera Lynn. Dame Vera besides been well at the top of my list was also my late dad favourite and an ex boyfriends as well. I am sure that my mom and dad and aunty hoo will be there singing along with me.

Spring Harvest. I am a Christian and I do not think I could do this challenge without my Lord and Master at my side, so I must have in my selection hymns. I go to Lourdes most years with a group I love very much, called ACROSS. This being the 150 year of the anniversary of Mary appearing to Bernadette at Lourdes, I will be including music from Lourdes.

In fear of boring you with my selection, you will be please to know that I shall have Will Young, Frank Sinatra, Leona, what an amazing voice, all I can say is thank God for X Factor…Mr Blobby, I just love Mr Blobby, Alex, what ever happened to Alex who won Fame Academy, and many many more. George Formby must have ‘I’m leaning on the lamp post’ with me...

Well there you have a small selection of the hours of music I shall be singing to as I roll back the miles. I hope some of you will be joining in
