<div><font size="3">RJ,</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Figured you'd like the Billy Joel, had you in mind.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Oh man, I am into Harry Chapin and he is a staple- but like the Moody Blues, one I don't play enough of.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">"Centerfold. Totally forgot that it has whistling in it"- ah, that element of surprise I love so much!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">You almost got Peter Gabriel thinking Genesis.…</font></div>

<div><font size="3">Hey leave me alone about Walking On Sunshine, it's a great song, lol!<br/>I only played The Bangles because of the Whistling- couldn't very well leave it out.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And while Susanna Hoffs is quite good looking, weren't any of the others?<br/>I don't remember now.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Think I told Jon below how I happened to choose Whistling Away The Dark.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">So the Golden Pell to the song by Peter Gabriel.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">A good choice, but I am surprised that you hadn't heard it before.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Any number in here could have been picked, but as I stated, I went nuts and played the HITS, LOL!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Thanks for the listen and writing, Happy Mothers Day to all,</font></div>

<p>That lead song is great. The whistling is terrific, but really, the whole song is. One of my favorite Billy Joel tracks.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Can't say as much about the second choice. Wasn't terrible, but not great either. Harry Chapin I think you said. He's a staple for you. Centerfold. Totally forgot that it has whistling in it. I like it, but my wife makes me change the channel every time it comes on. She can't stand it.</p>

<p>Don't know who that next song is, but I kind of like it. Wait, maybe that's Genesis with Peter Gabriel fronting...Oh, PG solo.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Oh my, you may have picked a song that is as bad as Walking On Sunshine. Susanna Hoffs is quite good looking, but I am not a fan of this song in the least.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Don't Worry, Be Happy. A very popular song. Not that great to me, but I can at least stomach it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Whistling Away The Dark was pretty good. I thought for a bit that I might be hearing something with The Beach Boys in it, but it was Henry Mancini. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I'll give the Golden Pell to the song by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. That was nice.</p>
<p></p>

<div><font size="3">They weren't there?<br></br>Even I am surprised, lol!<br></br>Frankly I thought Bobby McPherrin would be one of them.</font></div>

<div><font size="3">I've never seen that movie either, and some behind the scenes stuff, I picked the Henry Mancini song mainly because I knew I didn't have much time left and it was short compared to the others.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Gotta think on the fly sometimes, but I was happy with the contrast with all the other things I played.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Sorry if I messed up your weekend.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Hey maybe I WON'T play your dreaded songs...but I doubt it...one of them at least...brace yourself!<br/>Thanks for the listen and writing, you want to watch S.O.B. look in the mirror...drum slam, LOL.</font></div>

<p>This was not the show I was looking for.</p>
<p>I expected to hear those two songs and I braced myself, but they weren't here! I braced myself for nothing!</p>
<p>Now I have to wait a few more days for that dread to become a reality? That doesn't seem fair. I wanted to get it done with today, now it's going to ruin my weekend, that anticipation. That ain't right.</p>
<p>I like all of these songs, the McFerrin song got old back then but I haven't heard it for awhile so it's ok now. Even…</p>

<p>I like all of these songs, the McFerrin song got old back then but I haven't heard it for awhile so it's ok now. Even though that Bangles song was played a lot, never really got tired of it, probably because they're not too shabby looking. Or maybe they're actually talented. </p>
<p>Anyway, much better show that I expected. I liked to last song, it came out of nowhere which made it fun. And, no, I haven't seen that movie even though I like Julie Andrews. I also like some Blake Edwards' movies ("S.O.B." anyone?) but still haven't watched it. Maybe it'll be on TCM or something.</p>
<p>Now I want to watch "S.O.B.".</p>
<p>Great show! </p>
