Thread Name: Happy Music ?
Subject: RE: Happy Music ?
The absolute happiest American fiddle tune ever is a tune called Texas Fair. It was recorded by the Leake County Revelers and has been reissued on the Document label. The second happiest fiddle tune is Happy Acres Two-step, I don't know of any recordings of it. (It's a Canadian tune, I think). Also, Buck Owens: Down on the Corner of Love, My Heart Skips a Beat, Tiger By The Tail, Waitin' in Your Welfare Line. Dean Martin: Memories Are Made of This, That's Amore. Anything by the Coasters. Anything by the Drifters. Almost anything by Fats Domino.
