Chris A Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well, today (...changes daily...), the "all-time greatest hits" list is: 1) Monk's Dream (T.S. Monk) - (...lightens the day...) 2) Where to Now St. Peter? (E. John) (actually the entire Tumbleweed Connection album) 3) Harpsichord Concerto #1 in D minor, BWV 1052 (J.S. Bach), A. Hewitt--pianoforte, Australian Chamber Orchestra Isn't it interesting how we all have different music in our music libraries? Chris [] P.S.: the iPod is a useful invention for the changing "all-time greatest hit" list - especially the 32 GB version...which is completely filled with music.

Rivernuggets Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 [digitally stored music] is a useful invention for the changing "all-time greatest hit" list - especially the 32 GB version...which is completely filled with music. So true! The almighty 'random' button across 20 GB has reminded me to go back and explore my collection. It's a wonderful thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank you Sr for the wonderful flashback to days of a different drummer. Cornman Why thank you my friend. Of course, you can't have summer without letting George Gershwin's eponymous jingle dancing through your head. According to wiki there are 2600 versions of "Summertime". My top 3 are: Janis Joplin Billy Stewart Sam Cooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
