I turn the big Half-Century today


What music did you listen to when YOU turned fifty?
I'm gonna start with the Stones' Flashpoint, then maybe the Schubert D960 Sonata, Faure's Requiem (gulp!), and maybe that in-your-face chamber Carmina Burana out of Sweden a few years ago.
Any other suggestions? And please, I don't need Krall breathing in my ear...I'll let Ellen do the honors.
Cheers.

Happy Birthday Ernie. And welcome to geezertime. When I turned 50-- over 9 years ago, I might have listened to Jerry Lee Lewis "Great Balls of Fire"-- seems like that was "just the other day". Also, at 50 "Whole Lotta' Shakin" Goin On", and "Breathless" take on a whole new meaning;>) I don't know if Diana was breathing in ears then or not, but I would have gotten quite a charge out of it if she had;>)

Lately I've been enchanted by Jacintha's XRCD2 "Autumn Leaves"-- the songs of Johnny Mercer, but if you don't care for Diana K., you may not like Jacintha either. Still, this is the best CD I've ever heard in my system. Cheers. Craig.
