You know, you guys hit the nail on the head. I literally feel 14 again and am SO excited listening to these recordings!! I feel like a giddy schoolgirl. Now, THAT takes a LOT!! So, ok, I have 3 CD's in the car right now and it's too darn cold to go outside to see which ones they are. Well, one I know -- it's Greatest Complete Hits. I get chills when I hear CRT. (yeah, yeah, I'm posting like a pro, using the letters only, heh heh...) So, my special favorites. Well, most I can't associate yet with their titles, but, I know them when I hear them, as I've only listened to most of them only 2 or 3 times. Let me grab the ones I have here on the desk and see if I can remember which ones were ultra special to me: DEFINITELY: A Painter Passing Through. God, that song just rings of older wisdom, you know? That song just makes me love the man even more, if that's possible. Oh, god, please don't let me sound like a crazed stalker. I'm not. LOVE Don Quixote. Actually, I like his rendition he did at the Reno concert in 2000 better than the original recording! I liked the cragginess in his voice and the slower pace better. It made it sound so much wiser. And he wrote that song as a young man. <sigh> He is truly touched by God. O.K., back to the songs I was especially touched by (and can identify by title): Beautiful (I turn into mush with that one), The Circle is Small, Cold on the Shoulder, EVERYTHING on Dream Street Rose, well, my special favorite on that CD is Whisper my Name, LOVE Stay Loose, A Lesson in Love, LOVE I'll Tag Along, really, I know there are at least 5 or 6 others I love, but, I know them when I hear them. Now, keep in mind I, naturally, know of lots of his songs from 30+ years ago, so I haven't listed those. My absolute favorite GL song? Duhhhh... IYCRMM!!! It's really so nice and special to be able to share my enthusiasm with all of you. When I get excited about something (or someone), I get very excited and animated. Some people are bothered by expressiveness -- not me. So, thanks for being there to listen!
