My favourite song?

Aww... "Ave Maria". How can you improve on that...... no matter who sings it? And then there's Amazing Grace, and what about Hallelujah? I do so like K.D. Lang's version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPJkiB2o0sw

I'm not really into classical music, but Strauss gets me tapping my feet, and there are a few pieces by others I quite like.

And then there's my dad's music! My dad played the piano accordian. He could play it standing up, sound asleep!! Snoring even! Whenever I hear something he played over and over, the memories come flooding back and so do the tears. "A white sports coat and a pink carnation" is the one that comes most quickly to mind. There were many others, but this favourite of his has a special place in my heart.

And like others, I named my daughter after a song. One evening I heard Don William's singing "Amanda", and that was that...... such a pretty song with such lovely words:

Then there was the keyboard piece my DD played in the Yamaha music festival when she was 11 years old. She won the 2nd place medal, after only 3 weeks of lessons...... that was special.

Oh... and I just remembered Danny Boy.... hauntingly beautiful.

I really like Irish ballards and especially the one that was played at my wedding..... "Forever and Ever" by Foster and Allen.

Before we were married we had a favourite restaurant where we'd often go to dinner. There was a band there so we'd dance after we'd eaten, and they played this song beautifully. Needless to say that one is very special to us. I'd have shared it with you, but couldn't find a copy on the Net.

I could go on, and on, but this is just about one favourite song
