I am moved to tears by the big sweeping pieces like Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition or Dovrak's New World Symphony...as well as by the little pieces like Beethovens Fur Elise or Britten's Ceremony of Carols.

Victoria,
If you have this reaction to music...have you heard the Elgar Cello Concerto with Jacqueline du Pre? She recorded it more than once, but the one you just have to own is the one conducted by Sir John Barbirolli, which has Elgar's Sea Pictures sung by Janet Baker as the other work on the disc, also a great, great performance. After you have heard the Cello Concerto two or three times to learn it, you just start to think, This is really what it means to be alive, a human in this world.
David:
If you like Sinatra in his Rat Pack days of Las Vegas, you'll love Matt Dusk. He has that Vegas lounge act voice that lulls you back to the 60s
If you get a chance, take a listen to his big hit "Two Shots" the next time your at the music store.

Especially since we both have a weakness for disco too!
PLUS... and this will freak you out... 'Groove is in the Heart' is one of my all time faves! ;D

Nice to see other Disco lovers who liked Groove is in the Heart. :D I like seeing some of the obscure ones mentioned here. Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners is a favorite also.

;D Me too! There are so many of those fun old songs.
I find it interesting how interwoven music becomes with our memories. When certain songs begin to play, I'm immediately transported back to the point in my life when I first heard them. I assume I'm not alone. ;) :P
Take care!
