Appreciate the idea of it, but it's such a dampener on the ol' holiday cheer when you are making cookies and trimming trees and there it comes right after Jingle Bells and White Christmas! > > Leslie > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Barry > To: basia@smoe.org > Sent: Sat, January 9, 2010 12:09:02 AM > Subject: Re: 2 Promises > Like my friend who got married and asked me to make a mix tape for the honeymoon. His first choice was Dan Fogelberg's Auld Lang Syne, which starts "Met my old lover in the grocery store". He changed it after I told him about that one. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:14:15 +0000 From: "Barry" Subject: Re: 2 Promises Another song that gets played every year is "Hard Candy Christmas" by Dolly Parton. It gets played during the "all Christmas music" marathon. It has NOTHING to do with Christmas beyond those three words. It's about someone being down and depressed, trying to get over it. It's as much a Christmas song as "I Killed Santa Clause". I have wondered how these songs manage to make it through year after year. Barry Sent on the Sprint.

Dunno if you've ever seen this one but it says only superlatives, so I thought it will be fun to read (plus some English vocabulary for me ;-)). > > By Jonathan Widran: > > Basia's tantalizing Brazilian breez and "Basia-nova" is a sheer delight to liste to. She keeps the same sweet infectiousness which made her debut "Time and Tide" a platinum stroke of genius. This time she's infused '60s soul and some heartfelt, sparkling ballads, like "Brave New Hope". Her voice is distinctive and lilting, her lyrics interesting, and her production frisky, employing such oddities as accordion and bass sax. Other top cuts include "Best friends" and rousing cover of "Until You Come Back to Me". Her disappearance from regular recordings after the mid-'90s (she made few guest appearances on instrumental albums) was a great loss for adult contemporary music. > > > Have a great weekend, > Krysia > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Windows Live: Friends get your Flickr, Yelp, and Digg updates when they e-mail you. > http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/soci al-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_3:092010 _________________________________________________________________ Download gratis emoticons voor Messenger http://www.rulive.nl/aspx/emoticons.aspx ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:30:20 -0500 From: "Dennis Majewicz" Subject: Re: 2 Promises And what does "My Favorite Things" have to do with Christmas? That's a dial changer for me. I really dislike it.
