Trade just posted my whole playlist I listen to every night while I play Hearts, but he left out my favorite.
Watching these girls always makes me tear-up. It seems like it must be one of their first times on TV and they are so excited.

This has the most beautiful trumpet I've ever heard.

I have an older brother and sister so this is how I remember a lot of these songs. Not only do I love the songs, I love the memories they evoke..

I once did a test online when I was in my 40s. It said I had the music taste of a 70 year old. I guess because I always listened to old records from my brother and dad.

I like Etta James because she works with the song and doesn't try to overpower it.

Peter – sweet sixteen
Who makes me lose my appetite
Who disturbs my peace
Yes, that is Peter, yes that is Peter
Why do I do everything wrong
Am I hot or cold
that is because of Peter, that is because of Peter
Peter is my ideal
Grey sweater and red scarf
Blue eyes, dark hair
Tall and handsome and 18 years old

Chorus: Peter thinks the girls are stupid
Doesn't look at them
Because that is Peter, because that is Peter
Peter, Peter don't you see
that I am sick with grief
Peter I am in love

Peter is in the top class
I wish I was that far already
But when he looked at me
I was totally upset

I know this is much older than I am but I loved all those old musicals
and I loved this song even though I may not have known what it was about.
It was just so dreamy and a nice one to sit and pet a cat in your lap by.

I would probably test out at 120. My father, born 1915 played in a Big Band and I grew up listening to Glen Miller and the rest.
He had lots of Dinah Shore and Doris Day records.

I can always recognize Doris because she has a warm, beautiful smile in her voice.
