| What is your top ten songs? | | Have you ever wondered how many songs have you heard in your life time? I tried but it is very difficult. So what I did is to compile my own top ten list of favourite songs:
I am I said I am - Neil Diamond
Holly Holy - Neil Diamond
Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel
Toy Train - John Edmund
The Carnival is Over - The Seekers
Like Old Friends Do - ABBA
Wooden Heart - Elvis
My Friend the Wind - BZN
Last of the Callahan Boys - BZN
This list can change because nearly daily a song from long time ago suddenly pop up in your head. | |
| | Pop Music | | Yesterday I took my kids home to their Mother, the trip is a full day trip, so my brother took his mp3 player filled with music.One group of music was pop music from when we were kids in the 60s. We got talking about the music we remembered. Such groups as the Archies, the Monkees, and Josie and the Pussycats had their start on Saturday Morning TV. Music by Tommy James and the Shondells, and Neil Diamond, and other groups that in those days would record 45 rpm singles (for those that remember single records).What was the pop music that you listened to when you were a kid or tween, and what was your favorites. | |
| | Songs or singers that remind you of something awful? | | I am curious how many of you find that there are certain songs or singers you cannot listen to under any circumstance, because a particular situation happened when that song/singer was on?
For example, when I was very young, a pet duck died when "Dirty Low Down" by Bob Scaggs was on. I cannot listen to it. I also cannot listen to "you don't bring me flowers" by Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond, because I saw my parents making out to it. And I cannot listen to Jewel, because the last guy I was with said Jewel (who he played all the time) reminded him of his ex girlfriend.
What can't you listen to?Bobby Vinton

description (from another site)http://www.mountainvalleycenter.com/CFAL/psiscore.htmINFP - Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, PerceivingPERSONAL TYPE= Full of enthusiasms and loyalties, but seldom talk of these until they know you well. Care about learning, ideas, language, and independent projects of their own. Tend to undertake too much, then somehow get it done. Friendly, but often too absorbed in what they are doing to be sociable. Little concerned with possessions or physical surroundings.FAMOUS INFP'S: Carl Rogers, D.ick Clark, Donna Reed, Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis, Neil Diamond, Tom Brokaw, James Taylor, Julia Roberts, John F. Kennedy, Jr | |
| | Birth Test (try this, it's fun)..... | | Once you have discovered your Birth Number, put your "number" when you respond and say whether you agree or not and why?
To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in the birth datetogether, like in the example, until there is only one digit. A Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be. It will just color your choice differently and give you a little insight.Example March 20, 19503 + 20 + 1950= 19731 + 9 + 7
+ 3= 202 + 0= 2Keep going until you end up with a single digit number. 2 is the Birth Number to read for the birth date in the example.
==============================# 1 - THE ORIGINATOR1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often
leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lesson to learn Others' ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded.Famous 1's:... | |

| | Karaoke, Love or Loathe? | | Hi guys, do you like Karaoke. Do you think you are a bobby Darin, Robbie Williams or even a dead ringer for Neil Diamond. Or do you stink at singing. Me personally I live Karaoke and do consider myself not bad with theold vocal chords, but I have to admit I have heard some howlers in my time, but that is what Karaoke is all about. It is intended to have fun with and not be taken seriously. How about you do you take it seriously or do you just wanna have fun? Do you sound good or do you sound like a screeching cat? What do you sing and do you ever tell your friends they are good just to make them feel good or do you tell them they are bad to ensure no more songs are murdered by them? | |
