(Inadvertent pun)<br />Lately I've been grooving (slightly more than nodding) to U2 and Steppenwolf, Jim Morrison and Carole King. Golden-oldies on Calgary radio. When I'm driving in France I listen to France Culture - for the discussions, something I don't have the patience to do when anywhere else. And there ain't no tapping going on there, I tell ya. rDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-13001633448577942332011-04-09T00:01:38.888+01:002011-04-09T00:01:38.888+01:00ps.

Ol' Blue Eyes? :-)<br /><br />Namastenancy, that was some anecdote.

Adele's latest is what I'm listening to now. Penelope was a baby in that clip!It looks like early 90s.

As for me, I'm afraid I'm not a very good car companion because I'm constantly surfing the radio stations and CDs to find something which fits my mood ... which might just need silence. It drives my husband crazy. So while together in the car we may take the easy way out and not listen to anything.Judith Mercadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739476600999112092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-89051029641641200192011-04-07T13:26:25.766+01:002011-04-07T13:26:25.766+01:00I'm a mock dancer behind the wheel, Cuban, and...I'm a mock dancer behind the wheel, Cuban, and it drives my children crazy.

I ride the bus so I try not to sing out loud - though in SF, nobody would notice. But at home, I sing along with the opera and pretend I can hit all the high notes. My acting could politely be compared to Florence Jenkins (ie, over the top, horrible voice and really really cheesy acting). I play air guitar with the best of them and when I'm playing my huge selection of Latin music, I swing those hips and pretend I'm Cecelia Cruz. Oh what fun! And Tennessee Ernie Ford - you are indeed a man of wide ranging knowledge and tastes. When I was a teen, I was in a folk singing group and 16 Tons was one of the songs we sang. i wanted to be the new Joan Baez but my voice was alto, not soprano and my hair, alas, was way too curly. But we had fun.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-47791495905076809762011-04-07T04:11:33.074+01:002011-04-07T04:11:33.074+01:00wonderful sequence of songa and reflections - Gree...wonderful sequence of songa and reflections - Greetings from Mexico!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255193476024745869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-67091713584926245742011-04-07T02:23:44.720+01:002011-04-07T02:23:44.720+01:00Gone are the days when I dream with the music;)
